Ozone Layer On Track To Return To 1980s Levels By Mid-Century: Report
The Earth's protective ozone layer is on track to return to 1980s levels by the middle of this century, with the 2024 Antarctic ozone hole smaller than in recent years, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in a new report.

Antarctic Ozone Hole Might Fully Recover by 2066, Claims New Study
In 2024, scientists observed a notable reduction in the size of the Antarctic ozone hole, marking it as the seventh-smallest on record. With ongoing efforts to eliminate chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), experts are optimistic that the ozone layer could fully recover by 2066. Factors contributing to this positive trend include a decrease in harmful chemi...

Scientists Discover Year-Round Ozone Hole Over Tropics, May Lead to Increased Ground-Level UV Radiation
Scientists have discovered an ozone hole in the earth’s lower stratosphere that is comparable in depth — but seven times larger — to the springtime Antarctic ozone hole. The large, all-season ozone hole has been detected over the tropics, which make up half of the Earth's surface area and are home to about half the planet’s population. The ...

Massive Ozone Hole Over Arctic Now Closed: UN
Ozone depletion over the Arctic hit a "record level" in March, the biggest since 2011, but the hole has now closed, the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Friday.

Ozone Hole Above Antarctica Is Smallest On Record, But There's A Catch
The Antarctic ozone hole hit its smallest annual peak on record since tracking began in 1982, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA announced Monday. Although we're making progress in cutting down on the use of ozone-depleting chemicals, the milestone doesn't mean we've solved the problem, the agencies cautioned.
