A recent increase in a number of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) poses a climate threat, scientists say. Five ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons significantly increased in the Earth's ...
Emissions of a small group of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), man-made chemicals that destroy Earth’s protective ozone layer and fuel global warming, are back on the rise after their production was all ...
THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE (WHTM) — On September 25, 1974, Professors Mario Molina and F. Sherwood Rowland published a paper in the science journal Nature which would lead to widespread bans of chemicals to ...
The ozone layer over Antarctica, damaged by air pollution decades ago, has fortunately been recovering in recent years.
Exploring whether CFCs are still used globally today and their impact on the ozone layer. Putin derides European leaders as ...
Volcanoes belch an impressive array of organic chemicals into the air, but ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are an insignificant part of that mix, a new study finds. An international team of ...
SAN FRANCISCO — The banning of ozone-depleting chemicals hasn't yet caused detectable improvements in the Antarctic ozone hole, new research suggests. Instead, changes in the South Pole's ozone hole ...

The language is dry and academic, as is appropriate for the abstract of a scientific paper in the prestigious journal Nature. The research described in the short paper, however, fell like a scientific ...
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 ...
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 ...
The global increase in ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbon-11 (CFC-11) emissions, which was first detected in 2013 and continued to rise in the following years, appears to have been halted. A mystery ...
