Question map
On which date Ozone Day is observed ?
Explanation
The International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commonly known as World Ozone Day, is observed annually on September 16. This date was designated by the United Nations General Assembly to commemorate the signing of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987.
The Montreal Protocol is a landmark international treaty aimed at protecting the Earth's ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The ozone layer is crucial for life as it absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Other dates mentioned are unrelated: January 30 is Martyrs' Day in India, October 2 is Gandhi Jayanti, and April 29 is International Dance Day.
