How is ozone layer depleted?

The ozone layer is depleted by the release of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, and other chemicals. These substances break down ozone molecules when released into the atmosphere, leading to a reduction in ozone concentration in the stratosphere. This thinning of the ozone layer allows more harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun to reach the Earth's surface, which can have negative impacts on human health and the environment.
