Recent studies and reports indicate that the ozone hole over Antarctica has been expanding and deepening over the past four years, contrary to previously reported recovery trends. Scientists suggest that changes in descending air at the core of the ozone hole, along with major fires and volcanic eruptions, have contributed to the larger-than-usual ozone holes. The reduction in ozone concentrations in mid-spring has been significant, raising questions about recovery efforts and the impact of factors beyond CFCs.

Antarctica's ozone hole may not be recovering as well as we thought. Major fires and volcanic eruptions have contributed to larger-than-usual "ozone holes" over Antarctica in recent years. https://t.co/eL8WIWKgE2 https://t.co/eYEQl4cVDX
This paper by Kessenich et al. shows that the #ozone concentrations over the #Antarctic have been steadily declining in mid-spring in the recent years due to changes in descending air at the core of the #OzoneHole. https://t.co/V7RjS0waov https://t.co/ARUaUzpV3O
The Ozone Hole has been 'remarkably massive' over the past four years - and CFCs aren't the only things to blame https://t.co/wGmxdytd2G https://t.co/BUv3K6q4hK
The hole in the ozone might not be healing after all, new study claims https://t.co/QlhF1Ug1zA
The core of the Antarctic ozone in mid-spring (October) has experienced a 26% reduction since 2004, contrary to previously reported recovery trends in total ozone, suggests a @NatureComms paper. However, recovery trends remain in early spring (September). https://t.co/e19Tw7PMJJ https://t.co/T0UNlSihB4
