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

It has now been almost four decades since scientists discovered the growing hole in Earth's ozone layer. But climate ...

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 ...

Despite what it sounds like, the “ozone hole” isn’t actually a hole in our planet’s ozone layer. Instead, it is a much thinner area within the ozone layer than the rest. So, while it will ...

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 ...

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 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 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 ...

It projected the ozone layer should be restored to 1980 levels over the Antarctic by around 2066. Smaller holes over the Arctic were projected to recover by 2045, and for the rest of the world in ...

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 ...
