Ozone Layer Protection

Ozone layer protection refers to the international efforts to preserve the natural layer of gas in the upper atmosphere that protects life on Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. The aim is to reduce the release of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, which damage the ozone layer. If it is to effectively filter out radiation and therefore protect human health and environmental sustainability, then protecting the integrity of the ozone layer is crucial.
