IN NATURE of April 27, p. 644, Prof. R. W. Wood again raises the hopes of astronomers that it may be possible to obtain an extension of the ultra-violet spectra of the sun or stars by going to a ...

During heat waves – when ozone production rises as plants’ ozone absorption is curtailed -- more pollution is left in the air. This resulted in the loss of an estimated 460 lives in the UK in the hot ...

During heat waves -- when ozone production rises -- plants' ozone absorption is curtailed, leaving more pollution in the air, and costing an estimated 460 lives in the UK in the hot summer of 2006.

Rising temperatures could be bad news for people with bad lungs. Two new lines of research are bleak reminders of the link between air quality and human health. A study from the University of York in ...

This season’s Antarctic ozone hole has swollen to an area of ten million square kilometres from mid-August – approximately the same size as Europe and still expanding. It is expected to reach maximum ...

A new research has suggested that the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica may be impairing the Southern Ocean's ability to mop up carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere. The thinning of the ...

Today marks World Ozone Day, observed globally to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the ozone layer and recognise the milestones achieved in safeguarding this vital atmospheric shield ...

A LETTER from Prof. R. W. Wood on this problem (NATURE, April 27, p. 644) calls for some comment. Prof. Wood's contention that my observations of ozone absorption in December last (cf. NATURE, Feb. 9, ...
