Definition of «ozone loss»

Ozone loss refers to a decrease in the concentration of ozone, an important component of Earth's stratospheric ozone layer. This can occur naturally through chemical reactions or human activities such as the use of certain chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which deplete the ozone layer and allow dangerous levels of ultraviolet radiation to reach Earth's surface, posing risks to humans, animals, and plants.
