"Other researchers have proposed different chemical mechanisms that take into account the multitude of organic molecules that these particles bring into the stratosphere. Ohneiser has also suggested that smoke can alter the properties of the infamous polar stratospheric clouds that help form the ozone hole every spring. Through this method, ozone loss could be even greater—up to 25% at the poles. ... “If this process is happening, it can play an important role against [ozone] recovery,” added Kevin Ohneiser, a Ph.D. student at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research who also was not involved with the study."
