In the mid-1980s, scientists published a startling finding–a giant hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. That’s the protective shield that blocks large amounts of harmful UV radiation. And without ...

It's been 40 years since groundbreaking research announced the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer, a revelation that launched a rapid and successful effort to ban chemicals in hairspray, deodorant ...

The ozone layer is a part of the Earth’s atmosphere that absorbs much of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet light. In 1985, researchers noticed that the ozone layer was growing thinner above the Antarctic.

Explore the pivotal history of ozone layer depletion, from the groundbreaking 1974 research of Mario Molina and Sherwood ...

Scientists stated that worldwide ozone layer protection measures have been a major achievement, showing that harmful gases are dropping faster than projected. Experts, according to Science Alert, ...

The Earth's protective ozone layer is on track to return to 1980s levels by the middle of this century, with the 2024 Antarctic ozone hole smaller than in recent years, the World Meteorological ...

A NASA map shows the size of the Antarctic ozone hole at its largest point this year, when it spread to the size of North America. The ozone layer protects life on Earth from the sun's ultraviolet ...

The ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing ...

DENVER (AP) — Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly but noticeably healing at a pace that would fully mend the hole over Antarctica in about 43 years, a new United Nations report says. A once-every ...

The same phenomenon that causes aurorae — the magical curtains of green light often visible from the polar regions of the Earth — causes mesospheric ozone layer depletion. This depletion could have ...

Protecting the ozone layer also protects Earth’s vegetation and has prevented the planet from an additional 0.85 degrees Celsius of warming, according to new research from Lancaster University, NASA, ...

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 significant ...
