Product Description: This monograph reviews the establishment of new theories of the ozone hole and global climate change, two major scientific problems of global concern. It provides a comprehensive overview of the author's work including significant discoveries and pioneering contributions, such as the discovery of extremely effective dissociative electron transfer reactions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) adsorbed on ice surfaces and its implications for atmospheric ozone depletion; the proposal of the cosmic-ray-driven electron-induced-reaction (CRE) theory for the ozone hole; the predictions of 11-year cyclic variations in polar ozone loss and stratospheric cooling; the discovery of the nearly perfect linear correlation between CFCs and global surface temperature; the proposal of the CFC theory for modern global warming; the discovery of greenhouse-gas-specific climate sensitivity and the parameter-free calculation of global surface temperature change caused by CFCs; the prediction of global cooling; and so on...read more

Product Description: Peter Fabian and Martin Dameris provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of established scientific knowledge about ozone in the atmosphere. They present both ozone changes and trends in the stratosphere, as well as the effects of overabundance in the troposphere including the phenomenon of photosmog...read more

Product Description: Explores various concerns about environmental issues.

Product Description: Introduces what the ozone layer is, how it protects life on Earth, the damage done to it by CFCs, the danger of the increasingly large hole in the ozone layer, and what may be done to heal it.

Describes how scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer, the possible causes behind it, the effects of ozone depletion on humans and plants, and steps for improving the ozone levels.

Introduces environmental issues relating to the causes and effects of the hole in the ozone layer.

Product Description: In the stratosphere, ozone performs a vital role by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation and acting as a protective layer for life on Earth. Ultraviolet Reflections: Life Under a Thinning Ozone Layer examines the effects of increasing UV radiation on people, plants and animals...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Discusses why the earth's protective ozone layer is shrinking, the impact of the additional ultraviolet radiation coming through the atmosphere, and what steps being taken to alleviate the problem

Product Description: Written for the weather enthusiast.

A look at the damaging effects of chlorofluorocarbons on the atmosphere discusses the history of CFCs in industry, the discovery of the hole in the ozone layer in 1974, and the battle to restrict CFCs. 20,000 first printing.

A look at the damage done to the ozone layer reveals how India and China have ignored the CFC ban, how the planned Concorde could accelerate ozone depletion, and other facts about the hole in the ozone layer. Original.

A look at how chlorofluorocarbons have damaged the atmosphere discusses the history of CFCs in industry, the erosion of the ozone layer, and the fight to restrict CFCs
