The language is dry and academic, as is appropriate for the abstract of a scientific paper in the prestigious journal Nature. The research described in the short paper, however, fell like a scientific ...

While industrial products like chlorofluorocarbons are largely responsible for current ozone depletion, a NASA study finds that by the 2030s climate change may surpass chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as ...

A new MIT-led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone layer is healing, as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. Scientists including the MIT team have observed signs ...

No wonder politicians curse the environment. After intense horse-trading, arm twisting and agonizing, 93 industrialized nations agreed in 1990 to phase out by the year 2000 chemicals that destroy the ...

Despite public perception, the Antarctic ozone hole has been remarkably massive and long-lived over the past four years; researchers believe chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) aren't the only things to blame.

THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE (WHTM) — On September 25, 1974, Professors Mario Molina and F. Sherwood Rowland published a paper in the science journal Nature which would lead to widespread bans of chemicals to ...

There is much less ozone at the centre of the ozone hole compared to nearly two decades ago, according to new study which suggests some yet-unknown chemicals may be damaging the Earth’s protective ...

The ozone hole over Antarctica is the seventh smallest it’s been since the early 1990s. Recovery began with the Montreal Protocol, which ended the production of all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in 1987.
