An Interpretation of Natural Healing of Ozone Holes

In the early days there was no Ozone in the atmosphere of earth. The ozone was formed by the action of sun’s ultraviolet radiation on oxygen molecules. The oxygen (O2) molecules absorbed energy from the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays and split to form single oxygen atoms. These atoms combined with molecular oxygen (O2) to form ozone (O3) molecules, which are very effective at absorbing UV rays. It protects living beings and plants from the earth. Ozone Layer is a deep layer in the stratosphere, encircling the Earth that has large amounts of ozone in it. Ozone depletion refers to the thinning of the ozone layer, which allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth’s surface. The cause of the ozone holes is generally agreed to be CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) compounds which break down due to ultraviolet light and become free radicals containing chlorine high in the Earth's atmosphere. The area of 50-75% depletion of total ozone has been labeled as the “Ozone Hole”.

The scientists observed that ozone depletion was reduced, after the ban on CHLOROFLUOROCARBON worldwide, but they were clueless about how the ozone holes that existed in the stratosphere were being filled up. The main objective of the research project was the Theory of Natural Healing of Ozone Holes.
