The World Meteorological Organization has brought some good news: the Earth's ozone layer is gradually "getting healthier"! Thanks to everyone's efforts, harmful substances to the ozone layer have been decreasing, giving the ozone layer a chance to recover. According to the scientists, by 2066 in Antarctica, the ozone layer will return to its "peak performance" as it was in 1980, while in the Arctic it will be by 2045 while the rest of the world will reach this point by 2040!
The ozone layer acts like a "protective shield" that protects us from ultraviolet rays from the sun which can harm our skin and health. However, in the past, this "shield" was weakened by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were used in aerosol sprays, solvents, and refrigerants.
Thanks to the Montreal Protocol established in 1989, the entire world has come together to gradually eliminate substances that weaken the ozone layer. This is akin to the whole family coming together to "repair" their precious shield!
The good news is that the ozone layer is recovering; on the other hand, don't celebrate too soon; we still need to continue making efforts to protect the Earth’s "armor" every day!
