Ozone hole reaches record size : 3 times larger than Brazil, scientists warn of environmental impact


Recommended Posts

The ozone hole over the South Pole has expanded to an unprecedented 26 million square kilometers, making it three times the size of Brazil. This alarming development has caught the attention of scientists worldwide. Read on to discover the factors behind this environmental crisis and its potential impact on our planet.

Scientists believe that the Hunga Tonga eruption played a significant role in the recent expansion. Antje Inness explained, "Water vapor could have led to increased formation of polar stratospheric clouds, where CFCs can react and accelerate ozone depletion. Water vapor can also contribute to cooling the Antarctic stratosphere, promoting the formation of these clouds and resulting in a more robust polar vortex."
