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 ...

The ocean, a longtime reservoir for CFC-11, will become a source of the ozone-depleting chemical by middle of next century. The world's oceans are a vast repository for gases including ozone-depleting ...

A study finds that ozone-destroying CFCs banned in the 1980s are back in use, but it's not clear where or why. Reading time 3 minutes Thirty years after countries agreed to ease up on the use of ...

The concentrations of some ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere are increasing rapidly, scientists warn, despite the production of these chemicals having been banned globally ...

Last October, prime news coverage focused once again on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a chemical substance suspected to cause an especially pernicious, imperceptible form of environmental degradation.

Scientists discovered the ozone hole in 1985, but if they'd had the atmospheric monitoring capabilities of today, they could have found it 30 years earlier, according to new research. Reading time 3 ...

The hole in Earth’s ozone layer — which made headlines in the 1970s and 1980s but which has been slowly healing since an international treaty banned the chemicals creating it — is growing bigger again ...

Their power to dissolve the ozone layer shielding Earth from the Sun prompted a worldwide ban, but scientists on Monday revealed that some human-made chlorofluorocarbons have reached record levels, ...

Global emissions of a key contributor to the depletion of stratospheric ozone fell suddenly between 2018 and 2019, largely driven by reductions from within China, according to new analysis (Nature ...

Allan Hegland ("Secular humanists liars and suckers," Forum, Jan. 10) rails at scientific peer review with the claim that proponents of unpopular views are somehow not permitted to publish in ...

The world's oceans are a vast repository for gases including ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs. They absorb these gases from the atmosphere and draw them down to the deep, where they can ...
