Russia, N Korea fighting US hegemony: Putin | Starlink satellites harm Ozone layer

Climate change theoretically means long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, which are very much visible in the form of scorching heat waves, incessant rains, subsequent floods, and more.

Ozone depletion concerning for Antarctic organisms in their life cycles

Scientists have claimed that the upper part of the Earth’s atmosphere—the stratosphere— has become polluted due to constant rocket and satellite launches. A team of scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have found a significant amount of space debris littered in the second layer of the atmosphere.

As India grapples with the sweltering heat of its summers, a less visible but equally menacing threat looms in the air: surface ozone pollution. While the nation's bustling cities and industries have been associated with the haze of particulate matter, ground-level ozone has been silently making its presence felt.

Hidden danger in the air? What you need to know about rising ozone pollution

The Ozone hole is forming early this year. Scientists say it has been triggered by the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano. Should you be concerned? Molly Gambhir tells you more.

According to a recent study, going above the World Health Organization (WHO) ozone limit is linked to significant increases in heart attack, heart failure, and stroke hospital admissions.

New Study: Ozone related with rising hospitalisation for health disease

Ozone layer around the Earth is essential for the well-being of humankind. It absorbs the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sunlight. Ozone layer depletion has been a key issue for decades and fortunately, some resolute global action has slowed down depletion of Ozone.

Increased space tourism may deal fresh damage to Ozone layer

The hole in ozone that is created every year over the south pole region has now become larger than Antarctica, said scientists from the European Union's Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service.

An invisible layer protects our planet from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the Sun. It is crucial for the survival of life on Earth. World Ozone Day focuses on the importance of preserving this layer and understanding the risks faced by the shield. WION tells you the significance of the ozone layer.

World Ozone Day: Ozone layer critical for survival of life on Earth

Hundreds of firefighters battled Thursday to contain new flare-ups in wildfire-ravaged areas of Greece, where summer infernos have caused what the prime minister described as the country's "greatest ecological disaster in decades".

In the wake of wildfires in numerous countries, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: "devastating flames" had damaged many people's lives in recent weeks.

There's no vaccine for climate crisis: WHO chief on wildfires in several countries

An ozone hole that formed over the Arctic this spring and eventually grew into the largest ever recorded has closed. It's recovery cannot be entirely linked to the reduction in pollution due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Largest-ever recorded Arctic ozone hole closes. It's not due to coronavirus lockdown

Paris authorities banished the most polluting cars from the city's streets on Wednesday (June 26) as an unprecedented heatwave boosted levels of the harmful ozone gas, according to scientific observers.

Paris bans dirtiest cars from roads as heatwave causes pollution spike

The study was published on January 4 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

NASA study reveals proof of ozone hole recovery

Most countries had signed the Montreal Protocol in 1987 which banned the use of CFCs whose decrease led to this development
