Ozone layer is getting better

                     Ozone hole's condition is getting better. It's becoming healthy. There is a reduction in the CFC, according to Geeky Gadgets.This is really a good news. If at all there is no Ozone layer, most of us would have died with skin cancers,Of course, skin cancer is even though prevalent. The number eventually is less when compared with Ozone layers' presence. It prevents the harmful radiations of sun to enter the atmosphere.

Here goes some info related to this article, from Scientific American.
                    Each spring, those chlorine- and bromine-releasing chemicals eat a hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic. Thanks to the Montreal agreement, levels of anthropogenic ozone depleters detected in the region’s stratosphere have been falling since around the turn of the millennium. However, detecting any corresponding ozone recovery has been difficult.

                  That difficulty is down to significant natural variations in average Antarctic stratospheric springtime ozone levels from year to year, which mean that the hole can be small one year and large the next. Scientists did not expect to be able to detect the gradual recovery of ozone for decades, masked as it is by these dramatic swings.
