Super pollutants are extremely potent climate pollutants. They include short-lived pollutants like methane, black carbon and tropospheric ozone. Super pollutants are responsible for about 45% of ...

Ground-level, or tropospheric, ozone forms when methane, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds react with sunlight. With Earth warming due to human-driven climate change ...

A novel inversion method to retrieve tropospheric ozone using ground-based DOAS measurements Peer-Reviewed Publication Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Stratospheric ozone depletion and tropospheric ozone increases drive Southern Ocean interior warming. Nature Climate Change, 2022; 12 (4): 365 DOI: 10.1038/s41558-022-01320-w ...

Scientists confirmed that much of ozone's increase in the upper troposphere is likely due to humans. A team detected a clear signal of human influence on upper tropospheric ozone trends in a 17 ...

The stratospheric ozone layer exists 10 to 25 miles above the Earth's surface and protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation, but down here in the troposphere, ozone buildup can impact human ...

Credit: Sumaira Abdulali/CC BY 4.0 A long-term study in India using satellite and ground-based data has revealed increasing trends in tropospheric or ground-level ozone, a major component of smog 1.

Ground-level ozone, also called tropospheric ozone, is a common air pollutant that can be harmful to human health. The pollutant forms when certain organic compounds interact with sunlight and ...
