As of this year, the levels of ozone-depleting chemicals in the stratosphere reached a major milestone on the path to recovery, dropping by more than half of what's needed for the ozone layer to ...

Earth’s protective ozone layer is finally healing from damage caused by aerosol sprays and coolants, a new United Nations report said. The ozone layer had been thinning since the late 1970s.

The annual hole in Earth's ozone layer closed at the beginning of this month, scientists recently announced. This year's hole in the layer was smaller in 2024 than we’ve seen in any other year ...

Conclusive proof of a recovery in the ozone layer could be decades away, scientists say, and some areas, such as the area over the Canadian Arctic, are still at risk.

Given that some ozone-depleting substances also function as greenhouse gases, their phaseout is an added bonus for the climate, it says, whilst stressing the need for continued monitoring and to avoid ...

The ozone layer shields life on Earth. We’ll soon lose a key way to monitor its health NASA's Aura and Canada's SCISAT near the end of missions to monitor ozone-depleting substances ...

The ozone layer that shields life from the sun's cancer-causing ultraviolet rays is showing its first sign of thickening after years of dangerous depletion, a U.N. study says.

A new animation film and video game have been released to engage teenagers in the need to protect the Earth’s ozone layer. That is the thin part of the atmosphere which screens harmful ...

The ozone layer above the Antarctic may be healing at last, according to a promising new study. The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) found that the hole above the South Pole closed ...

At its worst in the late 1990s, about 10 per cent of the upper ozone layer was depleted, said Newman. Since 2000, it has increased by about 1 to 3 per cent per decade, the report said.
