Solution:

Ozone layer present in stratosphere protect the animals from UV-radiations of sun light. In stratosphere ozone is being formed and photo dissociated.
The chlorofluorocarbons methane and nitrous oxide cause depletion of ozone layer and react with the moisture (water vapour) of atmosphere and from and respectively, the and cause acid rain High concentration of in the atmosphere results in green-house effect
i.e., the layer, allowing solar radiation to pass in but preventing long wave heat radiation to pass out (carbon monoxide) is produced due to incomplete combustion metallurgical operations and naturally by plants as well as animals.
The high concentration of resulting in giddiness, headache, decreased vision cardiovascular malfunction and as phyxia Nitrogen oxides are produced naturally through biological and non-biological activities from nitrates, nitrites electric storms etc.
