NASA proves that the hole in the ozone layer is closing

The state of the ozone layer is one of the most constant issues when talking about the environment. The gases and harmful substances are harmful to this mantle that protects the Earth from the ultraviolet rays of the sun, with the passage of time it has been observed how a fissure is created that makes it impossible to work as a natural filter. NASA after many years of study, has evidence that the hole in the ozone layer recovers.

The Montreal Protocol works

In the mid-80s it was discovered that over Antarctica there was a hole through which the sun's rays were more powerful than in the rest of the world. The problem points to the emission of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the main cause, which is why it was decided to create the Montreal Protocol in 1987, which prohibited the use of chemical materials that emitted chlorine into the atmosphere and has been maintained until today.

New CFC agents on the way

The Montreal protocol to this day is working perfectly. There are many efforts that companies are asked to reduce pollution during the production of their products or the use of their facilities, each time demanding a greater commitment. There is also the Kyoto Protocol which consists of nations around the world limiting the maximum of harmful emissions in order to avoid climate change.

Undoubtedly dear friends of steemit are great news for everyone, but it is true that this hole does not close overnight, so we have to continue contributing our bit to continue advancing in this recovery and salvation of the environment.
