Answer 2

Answer:

O3  layer

Explanation:

• Depletion of ozone is due to action of sunlight over pollutants which release chemicals (e.g., chlorine) that destroy ozone.
• Ozone depleting substances react with ozone present in the stratosphere and destroy the same.
• The major ODS are chlorofluorocarbons (14% of total depletion), nitrogen oxides (3.5% of total depletion), Sulphur dioxide, halon,  carbon  tetrachloride,  methyl  chloroform,  chlorine, etc.
• Many of these are being released by jets flying in the  stratosphere and rockets being fired into space.
• Major contributor of these gases is USA.
