The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims, based on climate change models, that there is a connection between climate change, ozone in outdoor air, and health effects, including asthma.

"Climate change affects ozone formation through a complex set of factors, but warmer temperatures are correlated with increases to ozone in polluted areas," says James East, first author of a paper on ...

The ozone layer, Earth's invisible shield against harmful ultraviolet radiation, sits quietly in the stratosphere between roughly 15 and 35 kilometers above our heads. For decades, scientists watched ...

While industrial products like chlorofluorocarbons are largely responsible for current ozone depletion, a NASA study finds that by the 2030s climate change may surpass chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as ...

Belching factory smokestacks and black smoke pouring from muscle-car tailpipes made the air unsafe to breathe in parts of the United States before legislation passed in the 1960s and the following ...

As the ozone layer recovers, it’s also intensifying global warming. Researchers predict that by 2050, ozone will rank just behind carbon dioxide as a driver of heating, offsetting many of the benefits ...

The ozone layer, a crucial shield that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, is recovering quicker than anticipated. However, this seemingly positive news could paradoxically lead to ...

In the stratosphere, ozone acts as a protective layer. But in the troposphere, at ground level, this colorless gas is incredibly harmful to human health and the environment in ways scientists are ...
