A groundbreaking study led by scientists at MIT has confirmed that the Antarctic ozone layer is on a steady path to recovery, ...

In 1985, scientists discovered a seasonal hole in the Antarctic ozone layer. This protective layer shields Earth from harmful ...

A new study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.

The Antarctic ozone layer is currently healing, as a result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.

Learn about the ozone hole above Antarctica that is now confirmed to be shrinking due to reductions of harmful ...

Nov. 21, 2023 — Despite public perception, the Antarctic ozone hole has been remarkably massive and long-lived over the past four years; researchers believe chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs ...

While international efforts like the Montreal Protocol have curbed ozone depletion, the persistence of CFCs means recovery is slow but steady. Ongoing monitoring and adherence to global policies ...

In 2011, even though global CFCs were in decline, Arctic ozone fell to a historic low level due to unusual weather that allowed for greater than usual chemical ozone destruction. Although global ...

The study suggests that the reduction of ozone depleting substances, called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), is indeed the primary driver behind the healing ozone hole. This finding is more than just ...

When CFCs drift up into the stratosphere ... "By something like 2035, we might see a year when there's no ozone hole depletion at all in the Antarctic. And that will be very exciting for me ...
