Musk's starlink satellites are raining out of orbit at a rate of 120 per month.

Each one produces 30 kilograms of aluminum oxide which eats away at the ozone layer

These oxides have increased 8 fold in the atmosphere since 2016
Adding up to 360 metric tons of aluminium oxide per year to the atmosphere due to disposing of mega-constellation (Starlink etc) satellites might create ozone depletion amongst other as of yet unknown effects. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024GL109280
