The interest of scientific and political communities in view of the potentially impact on climate and biosphere due to the human activity has been
intensively increased in the recent years. Evident examples are shown by the global mean temperature as consequence of an increasing load of greenhouse gases in atmosphere
and the ozone depletion caused primarily by the chlorine compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Despite the small amount of ozone respect to the other atmospheric
components, it plays a crucial role for terrestrial ecosystem as it absorbs strongly UV radiation and furthermore, controlling the thermal structure of the stratosphere
together with the carbon dioxide, it affects the climate of the Earth.
