Question

Eli5: how can earth ozone layers heal itself even with our high pollution level?

In: 5

Answer 1

The degradation of the ozone layer was caused by a very specific set of gasses that were in use in spraycans and AC units. These CFC gases are no longer being released in the atmosphere.

CO2 and other pollutants don’t affect the ozone layer.
