Ozone depletion occurs when the natural balance between its production and destruction in the stratosphere is disturbed in favor of its destruction. Human activities are the main factor causing the disruption of this natural balance, mainly due to emissions to the atmosphere of synthetic chemicals known as ozone-depleting substances.
