Japan's Meteorological Agency says measurements made this year show that the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica was the smallest one in nearly 30 years.

Chlorofluorocarbons and other man-made gases are blamed for depleting the ozone layer, which shields the Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays. The hole appears annually from August through December.
