The hole in the ozone over Antarctica has reached record sizes.
The ozone hole reached its largest size on September 18. Its area was 27.1 million square kilometers - an area significantly larger than Antarctica. These numbers are especially alarming considering the role of the ozone layer in protecting the planet. The reason for the sharp increase in ozone was mainly the meteorological characteristics of a particular year. And we cannot count on a quick recovery of the ozone layer. We tell you if it threatens people, and how quickly everything will be restored.
