The greatest damage to the ozone layer is caused by chlorine and nitrogen compounds, which directly destroy it as a result of ...

NASA modeled a stratospheric ozone intrusion that impacted Colorado in 2012. So - there ya go. That's how air 10 miles above the ground, caused air quality problems yesterday in southern Colorado.

In early June, the Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden installed an “ozone garden” composed of plant species that are sensitive to ground ozone. The garden is product of a partnership between the Ciener ...

Stratospheric particles can shape the ozone layer. Remember the ozone layer? If you were around in the 80s, that's likely the period you'd associated it with.

Can bushfire smoke reduce the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere? A decade ago, we might have been skeptical. But there's a growing body of research showing a clear link.

Roots of ozone recovery. Within the Earth's stratosphere, ozone is a naturally occurring gas that acts as a sort of sunscreen, protecting the planet from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Now, that ozone may be at risk because the water emitted by the Hunga Tonga volcano has caused "significant cooling in the stratosphere in southern mid-latitudes," Paul Newman, the chief scientist ...

Ozone, or O3, occurs in two forms in the atmosphere: what scientists call “good ozone” in the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere that sits 6 to 31 miles above the surface, and “bad ...

Similar low ozone levels occurred in the upper atmosphere, or stratosphere, in 1997 and 2011. In comparison, the lowest March ozone value observed in the Arctic is usually around 240 Dobson units.

In the stratosphere, ozone is good and helps shield the Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Ground-ozone, or ozone near the ground, however, is harmful to humans and the environment.
