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.

Image caption, Without the ozone layer, planet Earth would be a very different place. One of those is the ozone layer. It’s basically the Earth’s sun cream - it protects the planet from ...

The ozone layer is a precious thing, helping protect the Earth from the harshest of the sun’s radiative output. If anything were to damage this layer, we’d all feel the results in a very short ...

The oxides can stay in the atmosphere and destroy the ozone layer for decades ... first teams to look at what the implication of these facts might be.” Scientists are particularly concerned ...

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

The garden is being used to study ground-level ozone levels in the community. Although ozone is invisible, its effects can be observed on the leaves of certain plants, such as coneflowers ...
