The language is dry and academic, as is appropriate for the abstract of a scientific paper in the prestigious journal Nature. The research described in the short paper, however, fell like a scientific ...

PASADENA, Calif. – A new NASA study of Earth’s polar ozone layer reinforces scientists’ understanding of how human-produced chlorine chemicals involved in the destruction of ozone interact with each ...

Observational Constraints Reveal Biases in OVOC-Driven Radical Chemistry. Schematic illustration of how limited OVOC constraints bias simulations of radical (ROₓ) chemistry and ozone formation. When ...

A team of Drexel University engineering students are traveling to Texas this week to launch a high-altitude balloon during the October 14 solar eclipse. Their goal is to study the rapid changes in ...

In May 2018, a group of scientists raised a red flag, warning that an unexpected and persistent increase in ozone-destroying chemicals, called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had been documented. In the ...

Earlier this year, the United Nations announced that the stratospheric ozone layer is on track to recover within 4 decades thanks to actions taken under the Montreal Protocol. Adopted in 1987, the ...

NASA and NOAA scientists ranked the 2025 Antarctic ozone hole as the fifth smallest since 1992, a finding that reflects decades of global chemical regulation but does not mean the threat has passed.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket burned up during an uncontrolled re-entry and left behind a detectable plume of chemical pollution in the upper atmosphere, adding fresh evidence to a growing body of research ...
