Solution
Although the regulations made in the emission of chemicals has reduced the damage but the results are nowhere near to what were predicted. Also it’s very difficult to tell the exact changes as a number of environmental factors are also involved in damage of ozone layer along with man made causes. The amount of CFCs and Bromine which are harmful for ozone are still persistent in the atmosphere despite the implements.
Yes the size of ozone has changed in recent years. It has increased by 36%.
