The world will warm more than expected due to future changes in ozone, which protects the Earth from harmful sun rays but also traps heat as it is a greenhouse gas. Summary Future ozone depletion Read More
Researchers complete first oceanic ozone campaign in the South China
As human activity across the world’s oceans expands, scientists are zeroing in on shifts in atmospheric composition—particularly ozone, a key player in marine atmospheric chemistry. In a new study, researchers have completed China’Read More
Wildfire smoke significantly raises ozone pollution, even in remote regions
Wildfires release vast amounts of visible pollutants into the atmosphere that darken skies and push people indoors to avoid unhealthy air. But a near-invisible threat to public health associated with wildfires is ozone, the reactive Read More
Periods of extreme heat often lead to increased exposure to ground-level ozone, in addition to other negative effects. This is dangerous for humans, the environment and agriculture. A study led by Forschungszentrum Jülich now Read More
The rapid rise in global rocket launches could slow the recovery of the vital ozone layer, says Sandro Vattioni. The problem is being underestimated—yet it could be mitigated by forward-looking, coordinated action. Summary Sandro Read More
