UN scientists say ozone layer depletion has stopped

GENEVA — The protective ozone layer in the earth's upper atmosphere has stopped thinning and should largely be restored by mid century thanks to a ban on harmful chemicals, UN scientists said on Thursday.
The "Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion 2010" report said a 1987 international treaty that phased out chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) -- substances used in refrigerators, aerosol sprays and some packing foams --- had been successful.
Ozone provides a natural protective filter against harmful ultra-violet rays from the sun, which can cause sunburn, cataracts and skin cancer as well as damage vegetation.

mas nindot gyud unta to kung hasta ang remaining household using old appliances with CFC kay ipa-ban pud. like i-confiscate sa government for proper destruction. but this is a good news indeed, hope i'm still alive the time the ozone gradually heals.
