RE: The Ozone Layer: The Thing Between You and Harmful Ultraviolet Light

in #stemng7 years ago

Though volcanic eruption does add to ozone layer depletion, the major cause is human-made. Hopefully in the next two decades (2040), we may have an entirely restored ozone layer.

Are there other man-made reasons besides CFC that cause harm to the ozone layer. Or is the current rate of depletion still related to some CFC release?

I really enjoyed your post @greenrun, good stuff.

Yeah, but the CFCs are the major culprit. Others may include Methyl ChloroformCarbon, Carbon TetrachlorideHalons and halons.
