Non-polar ozone not healing despite recovery at poles: Study
While the global ban on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) led to smallest Antarctic Ozone Hole in 29 years during 2017, the ozone layer at more populated latitudes is not recovering, an international study has found. Scientists said the cause of the anomaly over the non-polar regions currently remains unknown. Notably, ozone layer blocks the Sun's cancer-causing UV radiation from reaching Earth.
