Four new gases found to be destroying ozone layer
2014-03-10 12:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: The ozone layer over Antarctica is being attacked by four previously unidentified man-made gases, scientists from the University of East Anglia (UAE) have warned. New research published in Nature Geoscience yesterday found that more than 74,000 tonnes of three new chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one new hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) have been released into the atmosphere, despite a ban on CFCs since 1989. UEA's team, led by Dr Johannes Laube, compared samples of air from 100 years ago, 36 years...

Destroying greenhouse gases in environmentally-friendly way
2013-11-28 17:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) have developed a new catalyst for the "activation" of carbon-fluorine bonds. This process has many industrial applications, among which stands out the possibility to be used to reduce existing stocks of CFCs (chloro-fluoro-carbonated compounds), known as "greenhouse gases." CFCs experienced a huge boom in the 80s, but later they were found to destroy the ozone layer because of their photochemical decomposition when they reached the upper layers of the...
