Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The ozone hole over the South Pole is now bigger than Antarctica
The ozone layer hole was discovered in the 1980s. It forms over the South Pole from August to October each year and shrinks as temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere warm up. Ozone layer holes are caused by a mixture of meteorological and chemical processes. If accumulated, emissions of some chemical compounds we use could deplete the ozone layer. The hole this year is larger than the ones formed in most of the previous years in the record. Since the ozone layer protects the planet from ultraviolet radiation, the size and duration of the ozone layer hole are a concern to all living species on the ground. For example, if your skin is exposed to the Sun without the ozone layer, it will be burned by the sun’s UV rays quickly.
The use of chemicals that deplete the ozone layer like chlorofluorocarbons is supposed to be phased out by 2030. Since the world’s temperature is steadily rising, it is essential to stop using any ozone-layer-depleting chemicals.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the ozone layer hole.
