Smoke From Major Wildfires Destroy Ozone Layer: Study
The University of Waterloo's study published in 'Science' revealed that smoke from major wildfires have damaged the ozone layer and if this continues, earth will be exposed to dangerous ultraviolet radiation. Canadian Space Agency's Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment data was used by the researchers to measure the effects of smoke particles. "The ACE satellite is a unique mission with over 18 continuous years of data on atmospheric composition… read-more

Electron Precipitation Intends To Cause Ozone Depletion In Mesosphere
The phenomenon known as electron precipitation causes aurorae, which has been detected as the same reason to cause ozone layer depletion in the mesosphere. This depletion in the ozone layer can cause severe climate changes in the earth. The depletion can particularly occur during aurorae. Moreover, this has been found out by a group of scientists headed by Prof. Yoshizumi Miyoshi from Nagoya University in Japan.
