Scientists recorded a total-column ozone concentration of 102 Dobson units, the 8th-lowest level since 1986. Colder-than-average temperatures and strong winds in the stratosphere circling Antarctica ...

On May 16, 1985, a shocking announcement revealed a massive hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica, raising concerns about a possible increase in skin cancer and a global temperature rise of up to 2 ...

Now, as the ozone layer recovers thanks to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, scientists say this damaging trend could be reversed. However, continued increases in greenhouse gases may reignite the ...

Ozone Depletion Research. Learn what caused the holes in the ozone layer and how the ozone layer is recovering since the banning of CFCs. Read how certain clouds affect ozone depletion and more.

Our findings show that once rates reach 2,000 launches a year – about a ten-fold increase on last year – the current healing of the ozone layer slows down. We argue that with care, we can ...

From 1987, every country agreed to get rid of chlorofluorocarbons (better known as CFCs) destroying the planet’s ozone layer. The layer is now slowly recovering, filtering out more ultraviolet ...
