"The effects on the ozone layer are still measurable," says Brühl. Despite these ongoing challenges, there is some ...

The ozone layer is a protective shield in the Earth's stratosphere which absorbs some of the ultraviolet radiation reaching us from the sun. Without the layer, it would be nearly impossible for ...

The consequences of any damage to the ozone layer are multifold. Harmful ODSs can carve a hole in the ozone layer, allowing UV rays to directly hit the Earth. Long-term exposure to UV radiation ...

The ozone layer above the Antarctic may be healing at last, according to a promising new study. The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) found that the hole above the South Pole closed ...

There is actually no “hole” in the ozone layer, just a thinning, which happens cyclically, as with climate changes. Oct 22nd, 2013 - 11:06 am 0 redp0ll ...

Image caption, A diagram of the ozone layer ‘hole’ above Antarctica. The danger of CFCs was reiterated in 1985 by a group of Cambridge scientists. They found what was often called a ‘hole ...

The European Space agency Copernicus Sentinel satellite detected a giant hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica, as part of the EU's Environmental monitoring program. The hole which scientists ...

Earth's ozone layer holes over polar regions ... There is now hope that one day these ozone holes will heal. More information ...

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were commonly found in spray cans, fridges, foam insulation and air conditioners, were blamed for eating away at the ozone layer. A gaping hole in the layer was ...

Ozone protects Earth from the sun’s ultraviolet rays and an increasing hole in the ozone layer would increase our exposure to these rays. “The repair mechanisms that we naturally have can ...

The ozone hole above Antarctica has been remarkably massive and long-lived over the past four years and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are not the only things to blame, said researchers in their study ...

The extreme thinning of the Ozone layer threatened to bring on a global crisis from destroying plants and ecosystems to sky-high skin cancer rates. So, what happened? National Corporate funding ...
