The hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic could be the smallest seen in three decades, scientists believe.

The ozone layer in the atmosphere protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

"Right now I think we should view this as an interesting anomaly. We need to find out more about what caused it,” Richard Engelen, deputy head at CAMS"It's not really related to the Montreal Protocol where we've tried to reduce chlorine and bromine in the atmosphere because they're still there. It's much more related to a dynamical event.

The Montreal Protocol, which came into force in 1987, has curbed the amount of halocarbons in the atmosphere, resulting in the slow recovery of the ozone layer, CAMS said.
