Ozone Level Fell 5% From 1979 to 1986

The Washington Post | January 1, 1988| | Copyright

The ozone content of Earth's atmosphere declined about 5 percent between 1979 and 1986, according to the first report from an effort to monitor ozone levels worldwide.

The decline was as high as 30 to 40 percent over the poles-where, during a seasonal Antarctic "ozone hole," more than 60 percent of the ozone was depleted-and as low as zero over the tropics. Over the United States ozone levels were down between 0.5 and 1 percent.

Ozone molecules in the stratosphere, six to 20 miles up, absorb much of the sun's ultraviolet light, preventing potentially harmful amounts from reaching the ...
