The graphs illustrate the size of the ozone hole in the Antarctic and three genres of damaging gases consisting of freon, NO2 and H2O2 that destroyed the Antarctic ozone during from 1980 to 2000.
Overall, it is evident that the shape of the Antarctic ozone hole has expanded more and more considerably. Notable, the figure of freon experienced a dramatic increase while the kilometres of NO2 became the highest kilometres over 20 years.
Beginning with the size of the Antarctic ozone hole, there was a gradual increase. Their figure was approximately less than 50 square km in 1980. The number of square kilometres grew sharply by nearly 150 over 10 years. Additionally, there was a slight rose and peak at nearly 250 in 2000.
In terms of production, the number of freon went up from under 160 square km to over 200 in 1980 before experiencing a considerable drop by one tenth to 20 square meters in 2000. Subsequently, the square kilometres in NO2 just witnessed a moderate gain to approximately 160 km, becoming the highest production among the list. Meanwhile, H202 underwent a slight upturn by nearly 20 km in 1950 and then jumped significantly until the end of the period.
