Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Air Pollution
DEF

Hypothesis that chemical processes, rather than dynamic ones, are responsible for ozone depletion.

CONT

Support for a chemical explanation of the ozone hole does not eliminate the possibility that natural processes, such as a shift in atmospheric dynamics, are also important. Dynamical processes do not destroy ozone; they simply redistribute it.

French
