Definitions
The ozone hole refers to a region of the stratosphere where the concentration of ozone (O3) is significantly depleted, particularly over Antarctica, primarily due to human-made chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This depletion allows more ultraviolet (UV) radiation to reach the Earth's surface, which can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
