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,…
SpaceX Rocket May Have Sparked an Other-Worldly Red Glow in Night Sky
A picture of an otherworldly red glow racing across the galaxy was captured by diligent night photographers in the early hours of Sunday morning. They…
Now, Household Aerosols Emit More Hazardous Smog-Causing Chemicals than all UK Vehicles Combined
According to new research, household aerosol items now generate more dangerous volatile organic compound (VOC) air pollution than all the automobiles combined in the UK.…
Arctic Persistent Organic Pollution is Caused by CFC Replacements
According to a recent study, substances used to replace ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) can be just as harmful as their forerunners. The Montreal Protocol, a global…
Scientists Explain how a Historic Ban on CFCs Gave the World a Fighting Chance to Combat Global Warming
Researchers evaluating the effects of the Montreal Protocol claim that without the global CFC ban, we would already be living in a “scorched earth” reality.…
