The ozone hole over Antarctica is exceptionally small this year – as rarely seen since 1990. Stern, Zeit and Handelsblatt report this in agreement.
The reduction of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere is cited as the cause. These substances had massively damaged the ozone layer over decades. The international Montreal Protocol on the CFC phase-out is thus showing measurable effect.
What does this mean for people?
Even though the hole is smaller: The head of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) points out that UV exposure in the region can remain critical. She recommends protective measures – such as sun protection and adjusted time spent outdoors.
For people in the Southern Hemisphere, especially during the Antarctic spring, this changes little: UV values can continue to be extremely high. The smaller ozone hole is a success of international environmental policy – but no reason to sound the all-clear in everyday life.
As of: September 16, further details to follow.
