Syeda Rizwana Hasan, adviser to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, said environment-friendly refrigerators and air conditioners as well as non-CFC inhalers should be used to protect the ozone layer.

Technicians should also be aware of preventing the emission of harmful substances to the ozone layer, she said.

Rizwana made the comments while addressing a seminar at the Department of Environment in Agargaon, here on the occasion of World Ozone Day.

Speaking as the chief guest, she said, "Proper maintenance of the equipment we use is crucial for environmental protection. Protecting the ozone layer is an urgent to prevent skin cancer and cataracts; therefore, the global community must work together."

The adviser asked women to be more aware as they often make decisions while purchasing refrigerators or air conditioners.
She also noted that the media should play a role in creating public awareness.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, the UNDP Resident Representative, and the Director General of the Department of Environment also spoke, among others.

Prizes were distributed among the winners of a drawing competition.

In the morning, a procession was held from Shahbag to the National Martyrs' Memorial to commemorate World Ozone Day.    —BSS
