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

But our atmosphere is still vulnerable, and it is not clear whether the ozone layer of the future will look like the ozone layer we had in the past. It will take generations before we know how the ...

Let’s look at how this agreement was critical in protecting the health of our planet and all its species, while also reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The ozone layer is a thin shield ...

Operators follow a 25-year rule: at this point, a satellite’s mission is deemed to have ended and it is lowered into the atmosphere where gravity and friction kicks in. While this helps clear space, ...

The ozone layer remains a critical shield protecting life on Earth. While international efforts like the Montreal Protocol have curbed ozone depletion, the persistence of CFCs means recovery is ...

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

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.

In layman language, ozone ... like a natural sunscreen between the sun and us, protecting us from its direct UV radiation. It was back in 1985, that scientists first discovered a hole in the layer ...

In fact, if there was no ozone layer at all, we wouldn’t be able to live on Earth. To answer that, we only have to look at one of our ... In fact the hole was more like a very thin patch ...

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