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

Just a few decades ago, the sky above Antarctica became a symbol of environmental crisis. Scientists had discovered a massive hole in the ozone layer-a protective shield in Earth's atmosphere that ...

The hole in the ozone layer has made an unwelcome comeback. First spotted in the 1980s, the ozone hole over Antarctica caused concern due to the perceived risk it could cause an increase in skin ...

The annual ozone hole that forms over Antarctica has ballooned to near-record size, scientists say.. Measurements from satellite imaging taken on Sept. 16 showed that the ozone depletion area had ...

The ominous hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic is shrinking — but scientists warn not to celebrate just yet. Once as large as the United States, the gap is now a quarter of the size it ...

Despite public perception, the Antarctic ozone hole has been remarkably massive and long-lived over the past four years; researchers believe chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) aren't the only things to blame.

The ozone hole above Antarctica has opened up unusually early this year. Scientists think the cataclysmic Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption that sent shockwaves around the world in January 2022 may be ...

The Antarctic ozone hole in the Southern Hemisphere is known for its yearly variations. This year, it has a counterpart. An ozone hole has developed over the Arctic, a rare occurrence that ...

Antarctica’s Ozone Hole Is Persisting Later Into the Year, Raising Concerns for Wildlife As a result of the longer-lasting hole, harmful ultraviolet radiation is reaching Earth during a time ...

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 ...
