Strange results
In September 1982, Dr. Joe Farman, a British scientist working in the Antarctic, found
that a dramatic change had taken place in the atmosphere above his research station on the
ice continent. His instrument, set up to measure the amounts of a chemical called ozone in
the atmosphere, seemed to go wild. Over just a few days they recorded that half the ozone


had disappeared.
0
D
He couldn’t believe his eyes, so he came back to Britain to get a new instrument to
check his findings. But when he returned the following year at the same time, the same thing
happened. He had discovered a hole in the ozone layer- an invisible shield in the upper
atmosphere- that turned out to extend over an area of the sky as wide as the United States
and as deep as Mount Everest is high. When he published his findings in scientific journals,
they caused a sensation. Scientists blamed pollution for causing the ozone hole.
1
The ozone layer is between 15 and 40 kilometres up in the atmosphere, higher than
most aero planes fly. This region contains most of the atmosphere’s ozone, which is a special
form of the gas oxygen.. Ozone has the unique ability to stop certain dangerous invisible rays
from the sun from reaching the Earth’s surface- rather like a pair of sunglasses filters out
bright sunlight. These rays are known as ultra-violet radiation. This damages living cells,
causing sunburn and more serious diseases. The ozone layer is vital to life on the surface of
the Earth.
2
Until the ozone layer formed, about two thousand million years ago, it was impossible
for any living thing to survive on the surface of the planet. All life was deep in the oceans.

But once oxygen was formed in the air, and some of that oxygen turned to ozone, plants and
animals could begin to move on to land.
3
But now humans are damaging the ozone layer for the first time. In the past ten years,
scientists have discovered that some man-made gases, used in everything from refrigerators
and aerosols to fire extinguishers, and floating up into the ozone layer and destroying the
ozone. The most common of these gases are called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
4
The damage is worst over Antarctica, and near the North Pole, where scientists have
seen small holes appear for a short time each spring since 1989. So far, these holes have
healed up again within a few weeks by natural processes in the atmosphere that create more
ozone. But each year, it seems to take longer for the healing to be completed. Also, all round
the planet, there now seems to be less ozone in the ozone layer than even a few years ago.
5
The first new international law to stop people making or using CFCs was the Montreal
Protocol, agreed by most of the world’s governments in 1987, Since then, there have been
new controls on other chemicals that destroy ozone. The problem is that it takes roughly
eight years for CFCs, which are released when an old fridge is broken up, to reach the ozone
layer. That is why, despite all the cuts, ozone holes were deeper than ever around both the
North and South Poles in 1993. Amounts of CFCs in the atmosphere will continue to rise for
anther five years, say scientists.
6
Every year, the atmosphere will attempt to repair damage to the ozone layer caused by


our pollution. But we are stretching its capacity to recover to the limit. If we stop using all
ozone-destroying chemicals within the next five years, it is likely to be at least the middle of
the 21st century before the ozone hole stops forming over Antarctica each year. And, if we
are to survive, we all have to face the problem now.
