TaigaThe main cause of the hole in the ozone layer is the release of certain man-made chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, which break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere. These chemicals were commonly used in aerosol sprays, refrigerants, and other products until they were restricted by the Montreal Protocol in 1987. UV radiation from the sun then catalyzes the breakdown of ozone molecules in the presence of these chemicals, leading to a reduction in ozone levels.
