Scientists discovered the ozone hole in 1985, but if they'd had the atmospheric monitoring capabilities of today, they could ...

The ban on ozone-depleting substances that successfully reversed the growth of the hole in the ozone layer isn’t seen as a ...

In 1985, scientists “accidentally” discovered a yawning hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica. Initial research suggested ...

An international research team led by the University of Bremen has detected chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in Earth's atmosphere for the first time in historical measurements from 1951—20 years earlier ...

The Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in 1985, when scientists observed a severe depletion in Earth's protective layer of ...

Two new chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one new hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) have been found in the atmosphere by a group of scientists. Scientists made the discovery by comparing today's air samples ...

Chlorofluorocarbons are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, a researcher claims in a controversial new study. CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth ...

The world would be on track for a collapse of the ozone layer and an additional 2.5 degrees Celsius of global warming by the end of the century if it hadn’t agreed in the 1980s to ban CFCs, chemicals ...

More ozone-depleting chemicals than previously thought are leaking out of old air conditioners and plastic foam, an international team of scientists reports (Nat. Commun. 2020, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020 ...

A recent report says CFCs, not carbon dioxide, are the culprit in climate change. weegeeboard/Flickr On Monday, a report appeared in the Australian claiming a link between chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) in ...
