Beyond Discovery, The Ozone Depletion Phenomenon
Article describes how basic research has led to answers on what stratospheric ozone is, its role is in Earth's atmosphere and the devastating consequences of its depletion. Adapted from an account by Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland. CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) and Ozone Depletion
