Largest Antarctic ozone hole detected triple size of US
NASA scientists report the largest Antarctic ozone hole on record, about three times the area of the United States. The hole forms in cold Antarctic winter as chlorine compounds from human activity react on cloud particles and sunlight triggers ozone-destructive processes. Experts warn year to year variation and climate factors may influence the extent, with implications for UV exposure and climate interaction.
