The Lesser-known Role of the Ozone Layer in Global Warming
Although ozone depletion and climate change are linked in several ways, ozone depletion is not a major cause of climate change. Ozone in the atmosphere…

Children are Negatively affected by Air Pollution, during Wildfires
Chemicals or particles in the air that can harm the health of humans, animals, and plants are examples of air pollution. It also causes structural…
We may not be Aware of how much Ozone is Heating the Planet
According to new research, ozone in the lower atmosphere, in particular, contributed more to warming in the Southern Ocean, which absorbs much of the planet’s…
Wildfire Smoke has a Chemical Link to Ozone Depletion
Atmospheric chemists discovered that smoke from Australia’s ‘Black Summer’ wildfires triggered chemical reactions in the stratosphere that contributed to ozone depletion. The research is the…
Scientists create a method for Forecasting Seasonal Wildfires in the West
According to an experimental prediction method developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, this summer’s Western wildfire season is likely to be…
Climate Change can be Mitigated with New Technology
A dangerous myth is that we will never be able to solve the crisis. That is not correct. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a wide…
Ozone Depletion may be exacerbated by Copper-based Chemicals
Other chemicals are emerging as major causes of stratospheric ozone depletion as the Earth’s ozone layer recovers from past emissions of now-banned CFCs and halons.…
Nitrogen Pollution Monitoring
Tropical coastal ecosystems are among the most biodiverse areas on the planet. They are also on the front lines of the consequences of human activity.…
A Large Year-round Ozone Hole over the Tropics has been discovered
Scientists are attempting to determine the impact of a new year-round ozone hole above the tropics on the ecosystem and humankind. The ozone layer’s depletion…
Weather Anomalies are caused by Ozone Depletion above the North Pole
Researchers have established that the destruction of ozone over the Arctic in the spring causes abnormal weather throughout the northern hemisphere, with many places being…
Ozone Layer is Destroyed by Smoke from Major Wildfires
Wildfires deplete the ozone layer, putting us at risk from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The severe Australian wildfires in 2020 resulted in a significant drop in…
Bacteria can Clean up Plastic Pollution in Lakes Naturally
Some naturally occurring lake bacteria grow faster and more efficiently on the remains of plastic bags than on natural matter such as leaves and twigs,…
