World Ozone Day: Celebrating rare success story

In 1994, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed September 16 to be the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.

The day acts as a reminder that we need to protect the ozone layer and take preventive measures for the same.

In 1974, University of California’s Frank Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina identified a major ozone layer hole in the North and South Poles.
