Researchers report a decline in atmospheric HCFCs, marking progress in ozone depletion reduction under the Montreal Protocol.
Researchers from the University of Bristol have reported a decline in atmospheric levels of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), chemicals that deplete the ozone layer and contribute to climate change. This marks a significant milestone in international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, as the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement established in 1987, has played a crucial role in controlling the production and use of ozone-depleting substances, including HCFCs. The study highlights the importance of international cooperation in safeguarding the planet's atmosphere and climate.
