The ozone layer is on track to fully recover from its depletion within the next four decades, a panel of scientists gathered by the United Nations said on Monday. In an assessment conducted every four ...

Researchers have developed a new method for assessing the impacts of ozone-destroying substances that threaten the recovery of the ozone layer. Researchers have developed a new method for assessing ...

Scientists have discovered a massive new hole in the ozone layer. They say the hole wasn't expected to exist. However, they discovered that it covers almost the entire tropical region of the world.

Scientist reveal a large, all-season ozone hole in the lower stratosphere over the tropics comparable in depth to that of the well-known springtime Antarctic hole, but roughly seven times greater in ...

The scope of the newly discovered hole in the ozone layer over Earth's tropics, revealed by the annual change in ozone levels and average annual temperatures. (Qing-Bin Lu) (CN) — As if we needed any ...

What is the Ozone Layer? The ozone layer is a crucial component of Earth's stratosphere, located between 19 and 30 km above ...

A newly published study notes that the ozone layer is continuing to heal and could recover completely, thanks to the global actions from the 1987 Montreal Protocol. The research, published in Nature, ...

The same phenomenon that causes aurorae — the magical curtains of green light often visible from the polar regions of the Earth — causes mesospheric ozone layer depletion. This depletion could have ...

We successfully plugged the hole in the ozone layer that was discovered in the 1980s by banning ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). But, it seems we might be unintentionally ...

“The Vienna Convention and its Montreal Protocol became a landmark of multilateral success. Today, the ozone layer is healing”. The World Meteorological Organization Bulletin, WMO, reported that the ...

Earth's protective ozone layer is beginning to recover, largely because of the phase-out since the 1980s of certain chemicals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans, a U.N. scientific panel reported ...
