The study focuses on the recovery of equivalent effective stratospheric chlorine (EESC), a critical metric for estimating stratospheric ozone depletion, and explores why the timeline projected by ...

“Actions taken under the Montreal Protocol continued to decrease atmospheric abundances of controlled ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and advance the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer.

The stratospheric ozone layer has undergone severe depletion as a result of anthropogenic halocarbons. Although the Montreal Protocol has provided relief, anthropogenic emissions of another ...

Although global warming and ozone depletion are caused by different gases, scientists have shown that a warming planet may change how the stratosphere—and, therefore, the ozone layer—works. We seem to ...

The study, titled 'No Severe Ozone Depletion in the Tropical Stratosphere in Recent Decades,' reassures that there is no ...

Sep. 12, 2024 — Ozone gas is reducing the growth of tropical forests -- leaving an estimated 290 million tons of carbon uncaptured each year, new research ... Scientists Find a Human ...

A surge in reentries of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites has sparked concerns over their environmental impact, as 120 satellites ...

Since the mid-1970s, certain industrial aerosols have led to the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere, 11 to 40 kilometres above Earth’s surface. In 1987, nearly 200 nations agreed on the ...
