And people did that.' The findings were published in the journal Nature. Ozone is a molecule comprised of three oxygen atoms that occurs naturally in small amounts. In the stratosphere ...

It gets its name from its high concentration of ozone, a molecule born from UV light’s contact with the stratosphere. When UV rays strike oxygen molecules (O2) in this layer, those molecules ...

A chlorine atom can react with ozone to form an oxygen molecule (O2) and a molecule of chlorine monoxide (ClO), and the chlorine atom is “regenerated” when the chlorine monoxide molecule reacts with ...

The Atmospheric Monitoring Directorate states that ozone is one of the chemical forms in which oxygen is found in nature. It is a molecule that becomes unstable when it is found in high ...

Black holes may not be as life-destroying as we thought. A surprising study reveals that the powerful radiation from active ...

Your tax-deductible donation helps make it all possible. The forgotten story of the hole in the ozone layer - and how the world came together to fix it. The scientists and politicians who ...

But scientists soon discovered that didn’t matter because these molecules were extremely toxic to the ozone layer! Turns out, when UV light hits a CFC molecule, it releases a chlorine atom which ...

When chlorine is separated from the CFCs and reacts with ozone, it rips apart the ozone molecule, leaving the layer thinner than before. In 1974, two scientists from the University of California ...

Ground-level ozone, a highly reactive oxygen molecule, is a growing summer-time pollution hazard in Utah, particularly as the climate warms. It is not directly emitted, but rather forms in the ...

Inbound air passes through a mesh inside the converter that’s coated in the catalyst, which grabs one of ozone’s oxygen atoms, letting a molecule of breathable O2 pass through. When another ozone ...
