ozone loss
Ozone loss refers to the depletion of the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere, primarily caused by the release of human-made chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This reduction in the amount of ozone molecules allows more ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun to reach the Earth's surface, leading to various environmental and health consequences.
