The researchers affirm that the "healing" process of the Antarctic ozone layer is a direct result ... is the primary reason ...

The Earth's ozone layer is on its way to recovering, thanks to decades of work to get rid of ozone-damaging chemicals, a panel of international experts backed by the United Nations has found.

It is expected to recover to 1980 levels by 2040, a new U.N. report found. When the hole in the ozone layer was first discovered in 1985, Paul A. Newman was shaken as a scientist. "I lost a lot of ...

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 ...

But the longer the hole persists, the greater the likelihood that the ozone layer is dominated by natural factors, not human CFC emissions.” Another year has passed, and that stubborn Ozone Hole over ...

Earth's ozone layer, an early symbol of global environmental degradation, is improving and on track to recover by the middle of the 21st century. Over the past 30 years, humans have successfully ...

Located in the stratosphere, the ozone layer blocks potentially harmful ultraviolet energy from reaching our planet's surface.

The researchers noted that satellite re-entry pollution might delay ozone layer regeneration by decades.

The scope of the newly discovered hole in the ozone layer over Earth's tropics, revealed by the annual change in ozone levels and average annual temperatures. (Qing-Bin Lu) (CN) — As if we needed any ...

These compounds, known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), could float up into the stratosphere and break down a protective layer of ozone, allowing more ultraviolet light to enter the atmosphere and ...

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 ...

Back in the 1980s, scientists made the shocking discovery that human pollution had worn a hole clean through Earth's protective ozone layer. Now, almost 40 years later, scientists from the ...
