1.4 Read the article below and answer the questions based on it. Write only the
. question number and the correct answer.
Ozone Depletion
Unexpected emissions of banned gases from China could delay the
recovery of the hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic by almost 20
years, a study has found. The ozone layer is important to life as it acts like
a shield — filtering out the Sun's harmful ultraviolet rays before they reach
the Earth's surface.

The production of ozone-damaging (CFCs) — used as refrigerants and


foaming agents — is restricted by the Montreal Protocol of 1987.
Following the protocol's implementation, it was expected that the size of
the ozone hole above the Antarctic would return to its 1980 level by the
late 21st century. In 2018, however, scientists reported that emissions of
trichlorofluoromethane (CFC11) had not been continuing to decline as
expected since the mid-2000s. CFC-11 contributes around a quarter of the
man-made chlorine transported into the stratosphere which reacts with
and breaks down ozone.

The unexpected emissions have been attributed to Chinese factories using


the banned chemicals in the production of insulating foam.

According to the experts, however, the impact of the emissions has been
limited so far - and their rapid halt could reduce the delay in the hole's
recovery to a few years.
