Atmospheric chemists have found that the smoke from Australia's 'Black Summer' wildfires set off chemical reactions in the stratosphere that contributed to the destruction of ozone. The study is the ...

Ozone is a pollutant at ground level, but very high in the atmosphere's 'ozone layer,' it absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation. Past studies have examined ozone levels in the Southern Hemisphere, ...

The study of ozone dynamics and isotope effects encompasses the intricate chemical pathways involved in ozone formation, destruction and its isotopic composition. Research in this field has elucidated ...

Honorary Professorial Fellow, School of Chemistry, The University of Melbourne Can bushfire smoke reduce the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere? A decade ago, we might have been sceptical. But ...

Ozone, a pale blue gas with a characteristic after-lightning smell, is the main component of smog: the sometimes-foggy air that blankets Houston during the summer months. It is one of the city’s most ...

The ozone layer is slowly restoring itself and is expected to be on par with 1980 levels by 2066, according to a United Nations assessment of the goals set forth in the Montreal Protocol released this ...

Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the University of Pittsburgh, and Drexel University in Philadelphia are looking for a more sustainable way to disinfect water. They are studying how ...
