Scientists discovered the ozone hole in 1985, but if they'd had the atmospheric monitoring capabilities of today, they could ...

The ozone layer’s most famous wound opened over Antarctica, but the damage may have started much earlier, and somewhere else ...

Anthropogenic influence on the ozone layer was detectable by the late 1950s, primarily due to carbon tetrachloride, ...

More than 140 million people were under heat alerts, the outlet said, with dead bodies found in “homes with no air ...

The ozone hole over the Antarctic is significantly smaller in 2025 than in previous years, ranking as the fifth-smallest it's been since 1992, according to a new report by NOAA and NASA scientists.

In 1985, scientists “accidentally” discovered a yawning hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica. Initial research suggested the problem had emerged as recently as the late 1970s, but a new analysis ...

The Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in 1985, when scientists observed a severe depletion in Earth's protective layer of ...

The annual hole in Earth's ozone layer closed at the beginning of this month, scientists recently announced. This year's hole in the layer was smaller in 2024 than we’ve seen in any other year this ...

At this time of year, as the sun rises over Antarctica, a "hole" opens up in Earth's ozone layer. The ozone layer is a vital planetary boundary that protects all life on Earth from the sun's damaging ...

The ozone hole was healing, or at least that's what scientists told us. Managing to undo the damage that greenhouse gas emissions have done has been heralded as one of the world's greatest ...

Research indicates that industrial chemicals like carbon tetrachloride could have shown detectable ozone loss years before ...

With last year’s undersea volcano injecting massive amounts of water high into the atmosphere, scientists were bracing for a big Antarctica ozone hole this fall. But it didn’t happen. Instead this ...
