A new study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. A new MIT-led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone layer is ...

The rapid rise in global rocket launches could slow the recovery of the vital ozone layer, says Sandro Vattioni. The problem is being underestimated—yet it could be mitigated by forward-looking, ...

Earth's ozone layer is vital to protecting all forms of life – from crops to humans – from the sun's harmful radiation. This shield in Earth's stratosphere has been depleted for decades, putting life ...

Unlike the oxygen molecules present in the atmosphere, which are composed of two oxygen atoms bound together, ozone is made up of three oxygen atoms. This chemical structure grants ozone some unique ...

For years, the ozone hole over Antarctica was one of those stories that raised alarms every time spring arrived in the Southern Hemisphere. Now, a new report from the World Meteorological Organization ...

A wildfire can pump smoke up into the stratosphere, where the particles drift for over a year. A new MIT study has found that while suspended there these particles can trigger chemical reactions that ...

An annual analysis of air samples collected at remote sites around the globe that is tracking a continued decline in the atmospheric concentration of ozone-depleting substances shows the threat to the ...

In 1985, scientists “accidentally” discovered a yawning hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica. Initial research suggested the problem had emerged as recently as the late 1970s, but a new analysis ...

The recovery of the ozone layer — which sits miles above the Earth and protects the planet from ultraviolet radiation — has been celebrated as one of the world’s greatest environmental achievements.
