It absorbs UV radiation, preventing most of it from reaching us on the ground. This is important as UV radiation can harm humans, animals and plants. Scientists first noticed a dramatic thinning of ozone above Antarctica in the 1980s. It was being destroyed by gases called CFCs that were found in things like hairsprays, fridges and air conditioning units. The scientists say that in September 2015 the hole had shrunk by 4 million sq km since the year 2000 - an area roughly the size of India.
