## Ionizing Radiation

> Radiation that has enough energy to detach electrons from atoms/molecules.

## Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation

- Produced by the sun
- Can be partially blocked (absorbed) by the ozone ($O_{3}$) layer in the atmosphere
- Ozone is a colourless gas

## Ozone Layer

- __Pātai__: Why is there a hole?
- __Whakatika__: We used to use chemicals called _chloroflurocarbons (CFCs)_ in aerosol cans. These chemicals break down the ozone layer!
- The ozone layer very slowly naturally repairs itself, so since we stopped using them, it is slowly getting better!

## Cleaning

1. Clean the whiteboard with spray
2. Empty the recycling bin (by W block)
3. Get a cloth - spray and wipe all student desks
4. Get a cloth - spray and wipe all lab benches
5. Get a cloth - spray and wipe all window sills
6. Ensure all desks are straight and chairs pushed in
7. Use a scrubbing brush to clean all sinks & put rubbish in bins
