When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing more UV rays than usual to permeate the atmosphere’s innermost layers. This is known to contribute to ...

The Antarctic ozone layer is currently healing, as a result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.

What is the Ozone Layer? The ozone layer is a crucial component of Earth's stratosphere, located between 19 and 30 km above the surface. It plays a vital role in filtering harmful ultraviolet (UV ...

Atmospheric physicists Paul Newman and Luke Oman built a simulation of the Earth’s atmosphere and then proceeded to strip away our protective ozone layer. Their computer model reproduced the chemistry ...

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 ...

A recent study reveals that methane emissions could unexpectedly boost ozone layer recovery, particularly in the Arctic and ...

The Earth’s atmosphere has six layers. In the second layer, the stratosphere, you can find the ozone layer, which is made up of a gas called (wait for it) ozone. Ozone molecules are formed of ...

This week, based on a genetic study, researchers issued a recommendation that bison in Yellowstone National Park should be ...

Earth’s protective ozone layer is on track to fully recover from human-made damage following the near total phasing out of ozone-depleting substances, according to a UN-backed report.

It projected the ozone layer should be restored to 1980 levels over the Antarctic by around 2066. Smaller holes over the Arctic were projected to recover by 2045, and for the rest of the world in ...

A new research underscores how future increases in methane emissions could significantly influence ozone recovery, ...
