Anthropogenic Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) compelled stratospheric ozone reduction is one of the significant global environmental issues of this era. Ozone acts as a life saviour in the stratosphere whereas the same plays a role as a secondary air pollutant at tropospheric levels. This review encompasses studies involving the science of ozone destruction with an emphasis on chemical processes involved, minimum ozone features, ozone hole area characteristics, various Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs), consequences of reduced stratospheric ozone levels, and the different executed international commitments to restrain ozone depletion. It has been perceived that the decrease in stratospheric ozone volume gives away extensively to climate change such as through ozone chemistry fluctuations of polar annular modes and its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) features. Different international ozone layer protection agreements have been performing a major role in limiting stratospheric ozone depletion thereby its adverse effects, and specifically Montreal protocol has been a great success to this point.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
