Another year later, in October 1984, when they returned to do his work, he decided to take the reading from some other research station. About 1,000 miles away from his original research station, he set up the machine again for reading and took the measurements. He found that the ozone level had deteriorated even more. Here he realized that it was an emergency situation. He went to NASA with the evidence and soon the world got to know about the Ozone Hole over Antarctica.
Surprisingly, this Ozone Hole was growing rapidly each year. NASA scientists had overlooked it. When they went back to look at their satellite data they saw such photos.
In 1979 everything was completely normal. In 1980 and 1981, things started turning blue. In 1982, a proper hole was visible. By 1983, this hole got bigger. And the next year, 1984, this hole had become this big. The world went into a frenzy with this news. If the ozone layer kept depleting from the atmosphere, it would be a terrible event. A warning bell for all the plants, animals and humans on Earth. If ozone is depleted, life on Earth will be over. And the rate at which this hole was getting bigger, it was predicted that by 2050, the ozone layer will be completely depleted.
