SAN ANTONIO – NASA has been tracking the hole in the ozone layer over Antartica since the 1980s, monitoring it as it slowly grew. However, a new report headed by the United Nations shows that the hole ...

The hole in Earth’s ozone layer — which made headlines in the 1970s and 1980s but which has been slowly healing since an international treaty banned the chemicals creating it — is growing bigger again ...

The ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, was severely damaged in the 1980s and 1990s due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) — chemicals used in ...

An international assessment report has been released to provide definitive statements on the atmospheric impacts from a huge ...
