Equally untrue is another misconception that a hole is made in this ozone layer. To understand low ozone spread in atmosphere, one needs to know the structure and composition of atmosphere.

In the last thirty years, it has been discovered that stratospheric ozone is depleting as a result of anthropogenic pollutants. There are a number of chemical reactions that can deplete stratospheric ozone; however, some of the most significant of these involves the catalytic destruction of ozone by halogen radicals such as chlorine and bromine.

The ozone hole is not technically a “hole” where no ozone is present, but is actually a region of depleted ozone in the stratosphere over the Antarctic.

This reaction is significant for environmental chemistry, especially regarding the issue of ozone layer depletion. The provided information explains the reaction mechanism, the rate equations involved, and how chlorine acts as a catalyst, highlighting the negative environmental impact of chlorofluorocarbons.
