Computer models show major climate shift as a result of closing ozone hole
A new study led by Columbia University researchers has found that the closing of the ozone hole, which is projected to occur sometime in the second half of the 21st century, may significantly affect climate change in the Southern Hemisphere, and therefore, the global climate. view more (2008-06-13)
Low levels of contamination also influence mortality rate
Navarre doctor Rosa Mar'a Al'¡s Brun has shown, in her PhD thesis defended at the Public University of Navarre, that, despite contamination rates in Pamplona being very low, these still have an influence on death rates. view more (2004-08-20)
Antarctic forecast: premature break-up of ozone hole this week
Based on satellite data from the European Space Agency, the national meteorological centre of the Netherlands predicts the Antarctic ozone hole will break apart this week, months earlier than usual. A scientist at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) adds that the depth of the ozone hole is much smaller than previously seen.... view more... (2002-09-23)
Even healthy lungs labor at acceptable ozone levels
Ozone exposure, even at levels deemed safe by current clean air standards, can have a significant and negative effect on lung function, according to researchers at the University of California Davis. view more (2009-07-24)
Grape expectations for healthier wine
A new technique that uses ozone to preserve grapes could help prevent allergies and boost healthy compounds at the same time, reports Jennifer Rohn in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-02-12)
Satellite instrument helps tackle mysteries of ozone-eating clouds
Polar stratospheric clouds have become the focus of many research projects in recent years due to the discovery of their role in ozone depletion, but essential aspects of these clouds remain a mystery. view more (2006-04-11)
Global warming may delay recovery of stratospheric ozone
Increasing greenhouse gases could delay, or even postpone indefinitely the recovery of stratospheric ozone in some regions of the Earth, a new study suggests. This change might take a toll on public health. view more (2009-02-05)
Slow Electrons are "killing" Ozone
Outstanding new discoveries in ion physics Innsbruck/Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Tilmann M'¤rk from the Institute of Ion Physics at the University of Innsbruck and his team have, with the support of the Austrian Science Fund, developed unique methods and equipment to examine the interaction of electrons with atoms, molecules and clusters. And... view more... (2001-10-15)
Thanks to ESA, KNMI offers a UV forecasting Service
A unique new service which harnesses satellite data to powerful high-speed computing could soon lead to much improved weather forecasts and help make basking in the sun a lot safer. The "fast ozone profile" service developed by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) within the ESA Data User Programme is a world first, and it can... view more... (2001-03-26)
FSU meteorologists' work may lead to better tracking of hurricanes
Scientists are continually exploring different aspects of hurricanes to increase the understanding of how they behave. Recently, two NASA-funded scientists from Florida State University analyzed ozone levels surrounding hurricanes. Their work could lead to better methods of forecasting the paths of the deadly storms. view more (2005-06-09)
EPA ozone pollution standards 'unhealthy for America,' says American Thoracic Society president
David H. Ingbar MD, president of the American Thoracic Society, today called the proposed standards issued by the Environmental Protection Agency for ozone pollution-commonly known as smog-"unhealthy for America's kids, unhealthy for America's seniors, and unhealthy for America." view more (2007-06-25)
Ozone levels may raise risk of underweight births
Babies born to women exposed to high ozone levels during pregnancy are at heightened risk for being significantly underweight. view more (2005-11-17)
A sprightly explanation for UFO sightings?
In legend, sprites are trolls, elves and other spirits that dance high above our ozone layer. But scientists at Tel Aviv University have discovered that some very real "sprites" are zipping across the atmosphere as well, providing a possible explanation for those other legendary denizens of the skies, UFOs. view more (2009-02-24)
Skin oil -- ozone interactions worsen air quality in airplanes
Airline passengers and crews who gripe about poor cabin air quality could have a new culprit to blame: the oils on their skin, hair and clothing. view more (2007-09-06)
Ozone depletes oil seed rape productivity
High ozone conditions cause a 30% decrease in yield and an increase in the concentration of a group of toxic compounds within oilseed rape plants. view more (2009-06-29)
New window into ancient ozone holes
British researchers have hit on a clever way to search for ancient ozone holes and their relationship to mass extinctions: measure the remains of ultraviolet-B absorbing pigments ancient plants left in their fossilized spores and pollen. view more (2005-08-10)
Houseplants cut indoor ozone
Ozone, the main component of air pollution, or smog, is a highly reactive, colorless gas formed when oxygen reacts with other chemicals. view more (2009-09-09)
NASA study: Alaskan fires affected Houston air quality in 2004
An innovative new NASA-funded study based on a combination of satellite data, computer models and weather balloon readings finds that smoke from Alaskan and Canadian forest fires as much as doubled ground-level ozone thousands of miles away in Houston during a two-day period in July 2004. view more (2006-09-22)
Research finds new cause of ozone wheezing and potential treatments
Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, and Duke University have discovered a cause of airway irritation and wheezing after exposure to ozone, a common urban air pollutant. view more (2009-02-04)
Long-Term ozone measurements from Space assured
The EUMETSAT Polar System, and the ESA METOP-1 Programme together form a co-operative venture between the two organisations, and lead to the launch of the first METOP satellite in mid-2003. The system provides operational meteorological data from polar orbiting satellites, to complement and complete an international system of polar satellites... view more... (2000-03-05)
