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.
虽然在地球大气层中的浓度甚微，一氧化二氮是一种很强的温室气体，而且正成为破坏平流层臭氧的主因。
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.
在大气层中，一氧化二氮的浓度很低，但目前科学家认为，气候暖化有6%的原因是来自一氧化二氮，而它也是破坏平流层臭氧的祸首之一。
'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.
报告称，“通过逐步废止臭氧消耗物质的生产和消费，它（《议定书》）保护了平流层臭氧层，使其免于更大程度的耗竭。”
