BBC: The British Antarctic Survey scientist Joe Farman, who helped identify the "hole" in the ozone layer over the southern pole, has died. Dr Farman published the discovery with Brian Gardiner and Jon Shanklin in the journal Nature in 1985. The research prompted the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement that controls chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) production across the globe.

United Kingdom: Ground-level ozone causes spring smog

Guardian: During the 1950s when London was enveloped in pea-souper smogs, Los Angeles was struggling with a quite different air pollution problem. The London smogs were caused by coal smoke becoming trapped in the city in cold still conditions, whereas Los Angeles smogs were caused by traffic pollutants reacting in strong sunshine to produce ozone at ground-level. Ozone is very reactive and these smogs were first characterised because of their damage to rubber and crops before human health effects were fully...

Ozone kills by hampering gas exchange in lungs
2013-04-17 17:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: We know ozone is bad for our lungs the increased risk of developing diseases such as asthma was one of the reasons people wore face masks during January's record-breaking smog in China. But exactly what it did to the lungs has never been clear. To investigate, Katherine Thompson from Birkbeck College in London and colleagues scattered neutrons off an oily surface. It was designed to mimic the fluid films on lung tissues which make the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide more efficient. By looking...
