The ozone layer is on the mend, and it's thanks to human action. A new MIT-led study confirms - with 95% confidence - that ...

These clouds accelerate chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules. In contrast, ozone depletion is minimal ...

In 1990, Margaret Thatcher urged further support for the Montreal Protocol so that CFCs could be phased out completely and developing nations could afford ozone friendly technologies.

Internet satellite networks like Elon Musk's Starlink could contribute toward the depletion of ... triggering a chemical reaction that's highly destructive to the ozone. The study, published ...

chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) — once widely used in aerosols and refrigerators — were found to be reducing ozone levels, creating annual holes largely over the Antarctica region.

Research on CFCs' climate impacts beyond ozone depletion is scant, even though they can trap more heat than climate change poster child carbon dioxide, the study notes. The study's findings not ...

Later amendments to the Montreal Protocol completely phased out production of CFCs. Past studies have used statistical analyses of changes in the ozone hole’s size to argue that ozone depletion ...

Scientists warn that aluminium oxide particles could take 20 to 30 years to descend into the ozone layer, making it difficult to assess their full impact in the short term. Despite growing ...

The 'ozone hole ... to initiate a chain reaction that breaks down ozone. The Montreal Protocol, adopted in 1987, regulated the manufacture, consumption, and trade of CFCs and other chemicals ...

The study suggests that the reduction of ozone depleting substances, called chlorofluorocarbons ... The red area shows where ozone depletion is located. This hole in the ozone layer over ...
