In 2024, the crack of the ozone layer was smaller than in previous years. This is evidenced by the World Meteorological Organization (AO) in its new report. This was reported by the Hydrometeorology and Monitoring Center.
The Ozone newsletter published by the AOC states that the low level of destroying the ozone layer in 2024 was partly due to natural factors, but the long-term positive trend speaks about improving the situation.
The Vienna Convention recognizes the destruction of Ozone as a global issue and laid the basis for the formation of international cooperation, scientific research and coordinated monitoring of the ozone layer.
The Montreal Protocol has led to the fact that more than 99% of the production and use of ozone materials stopped step by step. These materials were used in cooling systems, air conditioners, fire extinguishing foam and even hair varnish.
As a result, the ozone layer will be restored until the 1980s in the middle of this century, which significantly reduces the risks of skin cancer and ecosystems.
The depth of an ozone crack of Antarctica of 2024, which is formed in every spring, has been lower than in 1990-2020. With the average index. In 2024, the formation of the ozone crack occurred relatively slowly, and in September, the ozone layer was slowed down, followed by relatively rapid recovery.
The AOC Newsletter states that a long, sustainable rehabilitation process is a reliable sign of the restoration of an ozone crack in Antarctica.
