<human>: Is the ozone layer getting worse?
<bot>: No, the ozone layer is not getting worse. Ozone is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. The ozone layer absorbs UV light and helps protect life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. In recent decades there has been an increase in atmospheric ozone levels due to human activities such as air pollution. This has caused some scientists to worry that this could lead to increased UV exposure and potential health risks. However, overall the ozone layer is still performing well and protecting us from UV rays.
