The purpose of the Montreal Protocol was to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the use and production of various ozone depleting chemicals that were causing the layer to thin and dissipate. Industry objected at first, but scientists and environmentalists prevailed.
Ozone is made up of oxygen and is produced naturally in the atmosphere. As the presence of ozone gets reduced in the atmosphere, it causes the ozone layer to get thinner and thinner. The more ozone layer gets thin, the more big gets the size of ozone hole.
