                  Depletion of ozone layer.

Two main causes of depletion of ozone layer are:-

  • Manufactured chemicals
  • Manufactured halocarbon refrigerants.

Extra information:-

Ozone depletion consists of two related events observed since the late 1970s. Earth's atmosphere, and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone around Earth's polar regions. Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health
