What is the Future Outlook for CFCs and Ozone Layer Recovery?
Thanks to international cooperation and adherence to the Montreal Protocol, the concentration of CFCs in the atmosphere has been decreasing. Scientists project that, if current regulations continue to be enforced, the ozone layer could recover to its pre-1980 levels by the middle of the 21st century. However, this recovery can be influenced by other factors, such as climate change and the production of other ozone-depleting substances.
