The halomethane compound bromoform (CHBr3) has devastating effects on the ozone layer. In the upper layers of the atmosphere, ...
LONDON (ANI) – Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have found that the damage caused by the ozone hole to the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon can be reversed—but only if ...
Research suggests that rocket exhaust and debris could be threatening the ozone layer, though many uncertainties persist.
Things are looking up. The ozone hole, particularly the one over Antarctica, isn’t as bad as it used to be. Scientists are tracking this closely, and the data shows a clear trend towards healing. It’s ...
On May 16, 1985, the discovery of a massive hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica prompted global concern about rising skin cancer rates and potential global temperature increases of up to 2.5 ...
