The ozone layer is in fact our world's safety net against radiation. We are destroying it daily with our many mistakes involving chemicals and pollution. It has holes in it that are allowing radiation to penetrate our precious earth. Without the ozone layer and what it does, we would not have been able to be born.

How does hairspray destroy the ozone layer?
Not any more. The CFCs that were used as aerosols in the 1980s are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. These have been phased out and scientists hope the ozone layer will have recovered by about 2060.It emits gases that damage the ozone layer.
What makes scientists think that ozone layer disappearng?

How big is the hole in ozone layer near Antarctica?
The hole in ozone layer is pretty big. It has been shrinking however.
What have been done to protect the ozone layer?
To protect ozone, we have to curb CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
How has the ozone layer been thinning?
Ozone has been thinning because of man made chemicals. These are CFC's.
What layer of the atmosphere has been partly destroyed by certain chemicals?
ozone layer
