Scientists find depletion began decades before discovery of ozone hole. Using modern tools, MIT Professor/CS3 faculty affiliate Susan Solomon and co-authors also determined that carbon tetrachloride, used as a dry-cleaning and degreasing agent as early as the 1930s, was at the root of early ozone loss.

Using modern tools, they also determined that carbon tetrachloride, a common dry-cleaning and degreasing agent, was at the root of early ozone loss.
