UN: Efforts to Save Ozone Layer a Success
Description: A new report says efforts to protect the ozone layer are a success and have stopped additional ozone losses. The report is the first comprehensive update in four years. Scientists say the ozone layer was thinning during the latter part of the 20th century because of ozone depleting chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons found in refrigerants and aerosol sprays.
