COVID-19: Ozone Proved to Be Highly Efficient in Effective in Disinfecting Coronavirus
Studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 remains active on aerosols and surfaces for between several hours and several days, depending on the nature of the surface…

Measurements from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite show that this year’s ozone hole over the Antarctic is one of the largest and deepest in recent years….
Researchers at the University of Southampton have shown that an extinction event 360 million years ago, that killed much of the Earth’s plant and freshwater…
An international environmental agreement to regulate the use of chemicals depleting the ozone layer may have inadvertently allowed higher levels of other harmful chemicals to…
Ozone levels above the Arctic reached a record low for March, NASA researchers report. An analysis of satellite observations show that ozone levels reached their…
Scientists using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite have noticed a strong reduction of ozone concentrations over the Arctic. Unusual atmospheric conditions, including freezing temperatures…
Study adds to evidence showing effectiveness of Montreal Protocol. Chemicals that deplete Earth’s protective ozone layer have also been triggering changes in Southern Hemisphere atmospheric…
Lehigh University scientist Benjamin S. Felzer calls new research showing that cleaning up ozone precursors within energy, industrial and transportation sectors could mitigate climate change,…
Implicated in a Third of Overall Global Warming for the Time Period A scientific paper published in 1985 was the first to report a burgeoning…
Air pollution and iodine from the ocean contribute to damage to Earth’s ozone layer. A new paper quantifying small levels of iodine in Earth’s stratosphere…
Abnormal weather patterns in the upper atmosphere over Antarctica dramatically limited ozone depletion in September and October, resulting in the smallest ozone hole observed since…
Like atmospheric methane and carbon dioxide, ground-level ozone is on the rise. But ozone, a noxious chemical byproduct of fossil fuel combustion, has received relatively…
Using measurements from NASA’s Aura satellite, scientists studied chlorine within the Antarctic ozone hole over the last several years, watching as the amount slowly decreased….
Each year, ozone-depleting compounds in the upper atmosphere destroy the protective ozone layer, and in particular above Antarctica. The ozone layer acts as Earth’s sunscreen…
New NASA-funded research has devised a way to use satellite measurements to track ozone formation among three different sets of conditions. Ozone pollution near Earth’s…
This year’s ozone hole was similar in area to the hole in 1988, about 1 million miles smaller than in 2016. Although scientists predict the…
New research details the “first fingerprints of healing” of the Antarctic ozone layer. Scientists found that the September ozone hole has shrunk by more than…
Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveal that the 2015 Antarctic ozone hole area was larger and formed later than in…
