EXCERPT: For the first time, scientists report that the protective ozone layer over Antarctica is showing signs of healing (Science 2016, DOI: 10.1126/science.aae0061). In 1987, the international Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer began restricting the use of halocarbons such as refrigerants, solvents, and aerosol-can propellants, which react with and destroy ozone. Now, almost 30 years later, Susan Solomon, atmospheric chemistry and climate science professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and colleagues provide both experimental and modeling evidence that ozone levels are actually increasing, a sign of true “healing....”
