Ozone depletion refers to the reduction of the ozone layer in Earth's stratosphere, primarily caused by human-made chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. This phenomenon leads to an increase in ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which can have harmful effects on human health, ecosystems, and the climate.
