Scientists recorded a total-column ozone concentration of 102 Dobson units, the 8th-lowest level since 1986.

And eventually, the ozone hole should stay shut for good. Peidong Wang, who also worked on the study, said their findings ...

The recovery of the ozone layer — which sits miles above the Earth and protects the planet from ultraviolet radiation — has long been celebrated as one of the world’s greatest environmental ...

And eventually, the ozone hole should stay shut for good. "By something like 2035, we might see a year when there's no ozone hole depletion at all in the Antarctic.

The ozone hole was first observed in the early 1980s and reached its largest extent in 2006, according to NASA. This year's ozone hole, which peaked on Oct. 5, was the biggest recorded since 2015.

Humanity healed the ozone hole. Can we do the same for climate change? It's been 35 years since the Montreal Protocol helped heal a hole in the ozone.

This year’s ozone hole is expected to close in a few days, according to scientists. In 2021, the hole lasted until Dec. 23. The longest ozone hole season on record happened in 2020 when it didn ...

Indeed, though the Antarctic ozone hole shows signs of recovery, the healing process is very slow. CFCs have atmospheric lifetimes of more than 50 years, so even without further emissions, a full ...

Why the ozone hole is on track to be healed by mid-century. New UN data shows that 99 percent of ozone-destroying chemicals have been phased out, underscoring a hopeful environmental story.

A new paper claims that the ozone hole above Antarctica is getting deeper, suggesting that it is not healing as expected. However, other researchers say the study's results are misleading.

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 ...
