Why is the stratosphere being depleted?

The stratosphere is being depleted due to the release of ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. These chemicals break down ozone molecules when they reach the stratosphere, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer. Measures like the Montreal Protocol have been put in place to phase out the use of these substances to protect the ozone layer.
