(3) Researchers traced the damage to chemicals called CFCs, which were then widely used in refrigerators and spray cans. (4) In 1987, nations signed the Montreal Protocol, an agreement that dealt with these chemicals. (5) Under the agreement, CFC production was cut step by step over the following years until it reached nearly zero, and the ozone layer slowly began to recover.
