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," said Peter Bernath.
