Ozone hole is closing, layer will be normal in 2040

(ANSA) - ROME, 09 JAN - The hole in the ozone layer, once the most feared environmental danger to humanity, is expected to have completely disappeared in most of the world within two decades, thanks to the decisive action by many governments to phase out substances that reduce the layer.

The UN affirms it, writes the Guardian.

Loss of the ozone layer, which risked exposing people to the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, is on track to be fully recovered by 2040 over much of the world, while it will fully recreate by 2045 over the Arctic and by 2066 over Antarctica .
