The rapid increase in rocket launches could slow the recovery of the ozone layer, according to a recent study. Scientists ...

The Federal Government is said to be promoting a transition to hydrocarbon refrigerants, which are ozone- and ...

The Federal Ministry of Environment, through its Ozone Office, has begun a four-day training and certification programme for ...

The peak time for ozone depletion is from Sept. 7 through Oct. 13, but this year's hole ranked as the seventh-smallest since efforts began tin 1992 to counteract the hole caused by ozone-depleting ...

Each year during the Antarctic winter, as circling winds concentrate the remaining ozone-depleting chemicals over the South Pole, the hole re-opens for about four months.

It is working, with the amount of ozone depleting chemicals in the atmosphere declining as expected," Shanklin said in an e-mail to USA TODAY.

The ozone layer shields life on Earth. We’ll soon lose a key way to monitor its health NASA's Aura and Canada's SCISAT near the end of missions to monitor ozone-depleting substances ...

Ozone depletion is directly related to the temperature in the stratosphere, as polar stratospheric clouds only form at temperatures below -78 degrees Celsius.

A new MIT-led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone layer is healing, as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. Scientists including the MIT team have observed ...

The study showed large uncertainties regarding how much of this recovery was due to concerted efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances, or if the shrinking ozone hole was a result of other ...

These ozone-depletion events are initiated by an increase in reactive bromine levels in the atmosphere. Under these conditions, the oxidative capacity of the Arctic troposphere is altered, leading to ...
