Show transcript
The ozone layer protects life from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were once used, and when they entered our atmosphere reacted with ozone (O₃).
Ozone levels decreased, but scientific communication led to action being taken to prevent further loss of ozone.
The work of analytical scientists suggests the ozone layer is now reforming.
