Stratospheric Ozone

Ozone depletion is the result of a complex set of circumstances and chemistry. This page has links to articles that give overviews or broad information, shorter pieces that focus on specific aspects of ozone depletion, images and animations of ozone levels and ozone depletion, and international organizations that issue regular updates.

Please note that this site is intended only to provide general information about the science of ozone depletion. Therefore, it is written without detailed citations of original research. If you need such references, please see either the answers to frequently asked questions, by Robert Parson, or NASA's Ozone Resource File Exit EPA disclaimer, both of which provide detailed information and full citations to original papers. You can also find many original papers at the CIESIN site Exit EPA disclaimer.

EPA has another web site about climate change. Please visit that site for information on global warming science, projected impacts, governmental policies, and other information.
