Emissions of a small group of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), man-made chemicals that destroy Earth’s protective ozone layer and fuel global warming, are back on the rise after their production was all ...

An international research team led by the University of Bremen has detected chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in Earth's atmosphere for the first time in historical measurements from 1951—20 years earlier ...

Their power to dissolve the ozone layer shielding Earth from the Sun prompted a worldwide ban, but scientists on Monday revealed that some human-made chlorofluorocarbons have reached record levels, ...

For decades, we used chemicals called clorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in aerosol cans and refridgerators, unaware of the effect they had on the environment. In the 1970s, scientists began to realize that ...

Two new chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one new hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) have been found in the atmosphere by a group of scientists. Scientists made the discovery by comparing today's air samples ...

A man with pneumonia coughed for a week until bleeding in his abdominal wall made him unstable. He took no blood thinners, making the case rare. Shreveport Precautionary Boil Advisory Covers 19 ...

A couple months ago, an atmospheric study revealed that someone had started producing an ozone-depleting pollutant that had been banned under an international agreement to protect the ozone layer. The ...

A recent report says CFCs, not carbon dioxide, are the culprit in climate change. weegeeboard/Flickr On Monday, a report appeared in the Australian claiming a link between chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) in ...

Substances used to replace ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) may be just as problematic as their predecessors, a new study shows. In 1987, Canada implemented the Montreal Protocol, a global ...

The language is dry and academic, as is appropriate for the abstract of a scientific paper in the prestigious journal Nature. The research described in the short paper, however, fell like a scientific ...

Learn about the ozone hole above Antarctica that is now confirmed to be shrinking due to reductions of harmful chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere. The ozone layer over Antarctica, damaged by air ...
