The rapid growth of rocket launches worldwide could delay the much-needed recovery of Earth’s ozone layer, according to a ...

The ozone layer will be restored to its 1980 condition—before the ozone hole emerged—by 2040. More persistent ozone holes over the Arctic and Antarctica should recover by 2045 and 2066 ...

The ozone layer serves an important function for living things on Earth. This shield in the stratosphere protects humans and the environment from harmful levels of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

The rapid rise in global rocket launches could slow the recovery of the vital ozone layer, says Sandro Vattioni. The problem ...

The ozone layer serves an important function for living things on Earth. This shield in the stratosphere protects humans and the environment from harmful levels of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

As rocket launches surge, scientists warn that emissions could slow the ozone layer’s recovery and disrupt Earth’s upper ...

Without an adequate ozone layer, life cannot sustain itself on Earth. For that reason — and despite protests from businesses that profited from manufacturing and using CFCs — the international ...

The healing ozone layer offers hope for the fight against climate change. But only to an extent. Because curbing greenhouse gas emissions is a much more encompassing task, requiring us to wholly ...

DENVER — Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly but noticeably healing at a pace that would fully mend the hole over Antarctica in about 43 years, a new United Nations report says. A ...

In new research, NOAA found that global concentrations of the harmful chemicals that damage the ozone layer have declined just over 50% in the mid-latitude stratosphere, to levels observed in 1980.

This view from space shows the thin layer of atmosphere that envelopes Earth. Part of the protective ozone shield may be thinning over heavily populated areas, new research suggests, even as it ...
