The document discusses the ozone layer, its importance in blocking harmful UV radiation, and how it has been damaged by CFC emissions. It also describes the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement that regulated CFC production and helped slow ozone depletion. The ozone layer is found in the stratosphere and protects life on Earth by absorbing 95% of UVB and all UVC radiation. CFCs released the chlorine radicals that catalyzed ozone destruction in a cyclic reaction. The Montreal Protocol phased out CFC production and has slowed but not yet reversed ozone layer depletion.
