LEAD: Scientists report that the ozone layer is slowly recovering.
- NASA satellite data indicate the layer of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere is headed slowly back toward normal levels.
- The layer of ozone at high altitudes acts as a natural filter, protecting people from cancer-causing UV-B from the sun.
TAG: Scientists attribute the rebound to the 1980s ban of CFC aerosol gases.
