Scientists seek cause of ozone hole
NZPA staff correspondent Washington Scientists have still not identified the cause of an alarming ozone hole that appears over Antarctica every spring. They say its explanation may be even more complicated than
previously thought. American scientists, who travelled to McMurdo Sound during the late polar winter, said in a satellite telephone link-up with the National Science Foundation’s headquarters in Washington yesterday that they had strong evi-
dence against two of the theories for the ozone depletion and that they suspected a chemical process was “fundamentally responsible” for the hole formation.
Information was still being gathered and much analysis was required.
