Ozone layer acts as one of the most important life support system. The major cause of ozone layer destruction is believed to be the release of chlorofluorocarbon compounds. UV radiation causes the chlorofluouocarbons to dissociate : CF_(2) Cl overset(hv)(rarr) Cl* +CF_(2) CI A highly reactive chlorine atomis responsible for the decomposition of ozone.

The depletion of ozone layer leading to ozone hole has, however, been mainly observed in the stratosphere over Antarctica.
