		The depletion of ozone in the stratosphere is a serious problem facing the world today, and it is going to remain a serious problem in the future. Many of the chemicals that destroy ozone have been banned in North America, but these chemicals can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. Therefore, many of the chemicals that have already been released into the atmosphere have not even begun to cause damage yet. Welcome to OzoneDepletion.org. This site was set up as means of relaying information about the problems associated with ozone depletion to the public. All information presented on this site is true to the best of our knowledge, and it has been collected from many reliable sources.
