This September's ozone hole over Antarctica grew to its largest extent in a quarter century, according to a Smithsonian Magazine report drawing on atmospheric monitoring data. Scientists note that despite decades of recovery since the Montreal Protocol phased out ozone-depleting chemicals, annual fluctuations in the hole's size still occur, driven by factors such as cold polar temperatures and volcanic aerosols. The finding has prompted renewed attention to ozone-layer recovery timelines.
Why now: New monitoring data shows the Antarctic ozone hole reached its largest September size in 25 years, raising questions about the pace of ozone recovery.
