Revitalizing the Ozone Layer: Can Humanity Be the Catalyst?
Weather & ForecastsThe Earth’s ozone layer plays a critical role in protecting life on our planet from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Over the past century, however, human activities have led to the depletion of the ozone layer, particularly through the release of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). The depletion of the ozone
