stratospheric ozone

基本解释

Although present in minute concentrations in Earth's atmosphere, nitrous oxide is a highly potent greenhouse gas and is becoming a keyfactor in stratospheric ozone destruction.
雖然在地球大氣層中的濃度甚微，一氧化二氮是一種很強的溫室氣躰，而且正成爲破壞平流層臭氧的主因。
Nitrous oxide exists at low levels in the atmosphere, yet is thought to be responsible for 6 percent of climate warming and also contributes to stratospheric ozone destruction.
在大氣層中，一氧化二氮的濃度很低，但目前科學家認爲，氣候煖化有6%的原因是來自一氧化二氮，而它也是破壞平流層臭氧的禍首之一。
'It (the Protocol) has protected the stratospheric ozone layer from much higher levels of depletion by phasing out production and consumption of ozone depleting substances,' said the report.
報告稱，“通過逐步廢止臭氧消耗物質的生産和消費，它（《議定書》）保護了平流層臭氧層，使其免於更大程度的耗竭。”
