Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico 1965 Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley 1972 Our research group is concerned with the chemistry of the atmosphere and with the various ways in which human society can affect it. Our goal is to understand at a fundamental level the key atmospheric chemical processes that have important consequences, so that we can make reliable predictions of future changes. Our research involves laboratory studies of atmospheric chemical processes. We are also exploring science-policy issues related to urban and regional air pollution and to global change. Gas Phase Chemical Kinetics and Photochemistry We employ flow-tube techniques to measure elementary reaction rate constants and photochemical parameters. We monitor directly the concentrations of reactants and products, including transients, using chemical ionization mass spectrometry, laser-induced or vacuum-UV resonance fluorescence, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, etc. The reactions under study involve species such as ClO, OH, HO , SO , etc.

Mario Molina Mario Molina was born and raised in Mexico City, one of the most polluted cities in the world. Not surprisingly, today he is one of the world's most knowledgeable experts on pollution and on the effects of chemical pollution on the environment. Mario began his scientific career as a chemical engineering major in his native Mexico. Although he loved chemistry, he began to realize that there is a negative side to this field of science: Chemicals can be dangerous. He also discovered that research, rather than engineering, was his career goal. While working on his doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley, Mario began studying, along with his advisor Sherwood Roland, a particular type of chemical - chlorofluorocarbons - then widely used in consumer products. Mario wanted to know what happened to these chemicals when they entered the environment, because although they posed no danger to humans in their original form, these chemicals might change in the atmosphere. As Mario investigated chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, he realized that they were accumulating in the upper levels of the atmosphere. At high altitudes, the CFC molecules were breaking apart and the resulting chlorine atoms were destroying an important part of the atmosphere called ozone. Mario and Roland published their study about the ozone layer in the early 1970s, but no one seemed to react. After several years, the destruction of the ozone layer became big news. Mario became a spokesperson, calling for limits and controls on the production and use of CFCs. In 1984, scientists discovered a huge hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. Still, some people did not believe that CFCs were the cause of the problem. However, Mario went back to his lab and proved how and why the chemical reaction was happening. After years of work, his research had been successful. In 1995, Molina was awarded the most prestigious award of all - the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

Scholastic Home About Us Site Map Search ... Tools Mario Molina made important discoveries about the danger of chemicals to the earth's atmosphere. He won a Nobel Prize. Biography When Mario Molina was a young boy living in Mexico City, he loved science so much that he turned one of the rooms in his family´s house into a lab. He spent hours there playing with chemistry sets. Little did he dream as a boy that one day he would make discoveries that would help protect the world's atmosphere, and he would become famous. While he was fascinated by chemicals, Molina knew as a young man that chemicals can be dangerous, too. In his lab as a graduate student, he began to investigate "chlorofluorocarbons" — known as CFCs — a group of chemicals used in spray cans, air conditioners, and other items you would find in any house. He and Professor Sherwood Rowland discovered that when these gases enter the atmosphere, they break apart. The chlorine atoms from them were destroying part of the ozone layer . This layer filters out most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting life on earth.

They discovered that the release of CFCs could destroy the ozone layer in the stratosphere, allowing more ultraviolet light to get through to Earth and potentially increasing the rate of skin cancer. Their efforts led to CFC production being banned in most countries, and they received the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

MARIO J. MOLINA Institute Professor, University of California Professor Mario Molina has been involved in developing our understanding of the chemistry of the stratospheric ozone layer and its susceptibility to human-made perturbations. In 1974 he was a co-author, with F. S. Rowland, of the publication in the British magazine Nature, of their research on the threat to the ozone layer from chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases that were being used as propellants in spray cans, as refrigerants, as solvents, etc. More recently, he has also been involved with the chemistry of air pollution of the lower atmosphere. He is also pursuing interdisciplinary work on tropospheric pollution issues, working with colleagues from many other disciplines on the problem of rapidly growing cities with severe air pollution problems.

Mario J. Molina Chemist Born: Mexico City, Mexico “You can be a scientist and still enjoy and participate in cultural activities.” As a child, Molina dreamed of becoming a professional violinist. But he became fascinated with science after looking at amoebae through a toy microscope, an interest his parents and his aunt, a chemist, encouraged. At 11, Molina was sent to boarding school in Switzerland so that he could learn German, an important language for a chemist to know at that time. “After graduate school, I decided to apply my research interests to environmental issues. It's very rewarding to work with problems that directly affect society.” Mario J. Molina, chemist. Photograph by Luis Mallo, taken in the Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts In 1973, Molina began the collaboration that would result in the breakthrough theory about chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) depleting the Earth's ozone layer. In 1995, he became the first Mexican American Nobel Laureate when he and two colleagues received the Nobel Prize for their work. Their findings led to the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement that called for a complete ban on CFC production after 1995.
