In 1985, scientists discovered a seasonal hole in the Antarctic ozone layer. This protective layer shields Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The sudden depletion raised global concerns, as ...

Learn about the ozone hole above Antarctica that is now confirmed to be shrinking due to reductions of harmful ...

When CFCs drift up into the stratosphere ... "By something like 2035, we might see a year when there's no ozone hole depletion at all in the Antarctic. And that will be very exciting for me ...

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

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

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 ...

The study suggests that the reduction of ozone depleting substances, called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), is indeed the primary driver behind the healing ozone hole. This finding is more than just ...

In 2011, even though global CFCs were in decline, Arctic ozone fell to a historic low level due to unusual weather that allowed for greater than usual chemical ozone destruction. Although global ...

While international efforts like the Montreal Protocol have curbed ozone depletion, the persistence of CFCs means recovery is slow but steady. Ongoing monitoring and adherence to global policies ...

When CFCs drift up into the stratosphere ... "By something like 2035, we might see a year when there's no ozone hole depletion at all in the Antarctic. And that will be very exciting for me ...
