Instead this year’s ozone hole was about average size for the last 20 years, even a bit smaller than 2022’s, according to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

If they hadn't paid attention to the fluctuating readings of Earth's ozone layer, humans would have probably died by now.

In addition to closing early, the Antarctic ozone hole was also smaller and formed later than in the last few years. After starting in late August, this year's ozone hole expanded to a peak of 8. ...

But a new study published Tuesday claims it may not be recovering at all, and that the hole in it may even be expanding. Scientists said the ozone hole was recovering. That good news was premature ...

NOAA and NASA scientists estimate the ozone layer could fully recover by 2066 and no longer have a hole opening each year. "The 2024 Antarctic hole is smaller than ozone holes seen in the early ...

The ozone layer is on the mend, and it's thanks to human action. A new MIT-led study confirms - with 95% confidence - that global efforts to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals are paying off.

The ozone hole, which forms annually over Antarctica’s stratosphere, has been a symbol of environmental damage since the 1980s, when scientists discovered it was rapidly growing due to human ...

The ozone hole reached its maximum extent of 22.4 million square kilometers (8.5 million square miles) on September 28, marking what researchers describe as a relatively small depletion compared ...

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 ...
