Most ozone-depleting substances also contribute to global warming. By reining in these substances and protecting carbon sinks ...

Earth’s protective ozone layer is on track to fully recover from human-made damage following the near total phasing out of ozone-depleting substances, according to a UN-backed report.

much of the ozone layer will have recovered. However, the report predicts that the polar regions will take two decades longer to recover. In a world where we increasingly hear reports of climate ...

Published in Nature, Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina's research linked CFCs to the depletion of Earth's ozone layer. Initially utilized for their stability and nontoxic properties, CFCs were ...

Internet satellite networks like Elon Musk's Starlink could contribute toward the depletion of the ozone layer, a new study claims. Scientists at the University of Southern California's Department ...

On 16 September, the world will mark the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. It was on this day, 35 years ago, that the Montreal Protocol, considered one of the most ...

Atmospheric physicists Paul Newman and Luke Oman built a simulation of the Earth’s atmosphere and then proceeded to strip away our protective ozone layer. Their computer model reproduced the chemistry ...

The ozone layer is a precious thing, helping protect the Earth from the harshest of the sun’s radiative output. If anything were to damage this layer, we’d all feel the results in a very short ...

Complex Impact of Large Wildfires on Ozone Layer Dynamics July 12, 2024 — In a revelation highlighting the fragile balance of our planet's atmosphere, scientists have uncovered an unexpected ...

June 16, 2021 — Ozone is a pollutant at ground level, but very high in the atmosphere's 'ozone layer,' it absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation. Past studies have examined ozone levels in the ...

Maricopa and Pinal counties both failed to meet federal air quality standards and will now become part of an Arizona State ...

Mass extinctions are very important to how life evolved on Earth. For example, when an asteroid hit the Earth 66 million years ago, the resulting dinosaur extinction led mammals to... Researchers ...
