Physicists at Tomsk Polytechnic University conducted a detailed study of methylene chloride and developed a mathematical ...

Most importantly, scientists had, based on chlorofluorocarbon emissions and the chemical reaction pathways, predicted a slow recovery of the ozone layer. We can no longer be confident about that ...

The nasty little molecule that has long been suspected of assassinating ozone in the stratosphere has finally been caught red-handed, by U.S. scientists. Scientists say this first observation of ...

The team's detection method consists of a small molecule-based probe added to regular distilled water. Ozone reacts with the probe through a process called ozonolysis, creating the organic ...

But what is ozone and how does it affect people's health? The Atmospheric Monitoring Directorate states that ozone is one of the chemical forms in which oxygen is found in nature.

For years, scientists theorized that a molecule called ClOOCl (the "chlorine dimer") in the stratosphere played a key role in destroying ozone. Now, scientists have observed the molecule for the ...
