Ozone layer on track to recover over next five decades
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has hailed the efforts of the international community in protecting the atmosphere, noting that with the global phase-out of 98 percent of ozone-depleting gases, the ozone layer is now on track to recover over the next five decades.
The city of Jacksonville's Environmental and Compliance Department issued an air quality advisory Friday, saying that elevated levels of ozone were present Thursday and are expected again Friday and possibly through the weekend.
