Sun burp blasted ozone layer in 1859

The 1859 event, which blasted the ozone layer, led to telegraph lines sparking and catching light (Image: NASA) A titanic burp of protons from the Sun in 1859 appears to have temporarily weakened Earth's ozone layer, say scientists studying ice cores from Greenland.
Evidence of the massive radiation event comes from an excessive amount of ozone-related nitrates in the ice from that year.
The huge September 1859 solar flare appears to have gushed 6.5 times the protons of the largest flare seen by modern science, which was in 1989.
The researchers modelled the space storm using nitrate data from the ice and compared that with the modern event also detectable in the ice.
The researchers therefore estimateed that more than three times as much ozone was destroyed by the 1859 event than in the 1989 one.
Ozone is the gas that blocks ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light, which is particularly lethal to many life forms.
The discovery is a hint at just how nasty solar weather can get.

New Report Summarizes Ozone Layer Protection Release date: Contact Information: John Millett, (202) 564-4355 / millett.john@epa.gov
(Washington, D.C. - April 26, 2007) After nearly 20 years of international treaty protection, the six-mile-high ozone layer that shields the earth from harmful solar rays is on the road to recovery, but challenges remain, EPA reports. Achievements in Stratospheric Ozone Protection: Progress Report highlights U.S. contributions toward healing the ozone layer.
"We could not have made this progress without the collaboration of our partners from all sectors of our economy," said Bill Wehrum, EPA acting assistant administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation. "These partnerships have spurred progress in technology development and deployment that is protecting the ozone layer, saving energy, and preventing emissions of greenhouse gases."
The report recognizes the substantial and successful investments of the many collaborators who have worked towards protecting and restoring the ozone layer. The ozone layer has not grown thinner over most of the world since 1998, according to the report, and the Antarctic ozone level is projected to return to pre-1980 levels between 2060 and 2075.

    Ozone layer protection
    The ozone layer is the main protector of Earth from excessively intensive ultraviolet (UV) radiation of the Sun. But unfortunately during the last 20 years the ozone layer over many world regions, including Latvia in fall and winter periods, was too ”thin”. As a result, the probability of skin cancer and eye cataracts increased, immunity weakened, agricultural crops and fishery catch decreased, etc. Results of some researches state that the ozone layer thinning has practically stopped at the present moment, while others state that the „ozone hole” is growing, i.e. in the year 2005 it was almost a record big size. Therefore one shall conclude that exactly this year and several following years will be determinant for ozone layer recovery. Ozone layer protection is currently supported by 189 countries of the world, including Latvia. For almost all technologies applying ozone layer depletion matters there are replacement alternatives found, and production, trade, and application of theses matters is rapidly decreasing. For example, in the year 1986 the world consumed approximately 1 100 000 tons of HFO or CFC (one of the most widespread ozone layer depletion matters, also named Freon), but in 2001 the total amount of consumed HFO was only 110 000 tons. Scientists forecast that in case of observation of currently implemented ozone layer protection measures the ozone layer will be recovered up to its normal condition by 2050 - 2060.

The coalition is pitted against China, which has become the world’s leading manufacturer of air-conditioners that use the refrigerant, HCFC-22. Most window air-conditioners and air-conditioning systems in the United States use this refrigerant, as well. International pressure has grown rapidly this winter for quick action. “We scientifically have proof: if we accelerate the phaseout of HCFC, we are going to make a great contribution to climate change,” said Romina Picolotti, the chief of Argentina’s environmental secretariat.

    BAS is not responsible for the content of external sites. Ozone is made up from three oxygen atoms, whereas the oxygen that we breathe has only two. It is a minor gas in our atmosphere and mostly occurs in the "ozone layer" at heights between 10 and 35 kilometres. Bringing all the ozone in the "layer" down to ground level would give a thickness of around 3cm of pure ozone, which reduces to around 1cm at the height of the ozone hole. At the surface of the earth it is poisonous in large quantities, but in the stratosphere it prevents harmful ultra-violet radiation from reaching us. BAS has been measuring ozone in the Antarctic since 1956 and our measurements led to the discovery of the ozone hole. A little ozone also exists closer to the Earth's surface and recent research shows that natural halogens in Antarctica can produce depletion in this near surface layer. You can find the latest report on the ozone hole, along with other links and data on the

http://www.ucar.edu/learn/1_5_1.htm
Introduction to Ozone
This section provides an overview of ozone and why it is considered to be 'bad' when found in the troposphere, and 'good' when found in the stratosphere. Ozone has the same chemical structure whether it is found in the stratosphere or troposphere. The general concepts found in this section include the following:
  • Ozone is a form of oxygen. The molecule contains three oxygen atoms (
    Ozone is unstable and will readily combine with other atoms.
    Ozone is found in the stratosphere, where it blocks the sun's ultraviolet (UV) waves and prevents them from reaching the earth's surface.
    Ozone is also found in the troposphere, where it can damage living tissue and human-produced objects. It is generated both from certain types of pollution and natural sources.
This section includes four classroom activities. Introduction The Ozone Hole. The Ozone Hoax. Pollution. Skin Cancer. The topic of ozone makes headlines on a regular basis, but why does a single molecule merit such media coverage? How important is the ozone in our atmosphere and why are scientists so concerned about its increase near the surface of the earth and its disappearance higher up in the atmosphere? First things first - what is ozone? Ozone is made of three oxygen atoms (

People were understandably alarmed, then, in the 1980s when scientists noticed that manmade chemicals in the atmosphere were destroying this layer. Governments quickly enacted an international treaty, called the Montreal Protocol, to ban ozone-destroying gases such as CFCs then found in aerosol cans and air conditioners. Right: The Antarctic ozone hole. [

In the early 1990s depletion of the ozone layer was reported not only over Antarctica, but also over the Arctic region. In order to monitor the stratospheric ozone layer and obtain data to study the mechanisms involved in its destruction, Japan's Ministry of the Environment developed the Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS) sensor. ILAS was mounted on board the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) known as "Midori". It collected valuable data over eight months from November 1996 until June 1997 when a problem with the solar panel terminated the satellite's functions. NIES developed and operated the data processing and operating systems for ILAS. ILAS was able to provide datasets with high altitude resolution thanks to an observational method known as the Solar-Occultation Technique. NIES processed the data from ILAS observations and deduced the altitude distributions of concentrations of many atmospheric trace constituents that influence changes in the ozone layer, such as ozone, nitric acid, nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, water vapor and aerosols. These datasets are provided widely to researchers in Japan and overseas, who use them for research relating to changes in the ozone layer.

CFC-Free Medication for an Ailing Ozone Layer
by Tamar Nordenberg More than 20 million Americans, including those who use metered-dose inhalers for their asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, could be affected if the Food and Drug Administration finalizes a policy to phase out medical products that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). FDA is seeking comments from the public on a rule the agency first proposed in March that also covers CFC-containing products far less common than metered-dose inhalers, such as nitroglycerin sprayed into the mouth to relieve chest pain. Metered-dose inhalers and some other medical products use CFCs as propellants to carry the drug to the lungs or elsewhere in the body. While these products don't present a direct threat to users' health, they contain CFCs that eat away at the Earth's protective ozone layer and lead to increased ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface. Because increased UV rays are linked to skin cancer, cataracts, suppressed immune systems, and other health problems, CFCs indirectly can contribute to these conditions. FDA's move toward phasing out CFC-containing medical products is part of a worldwide reduction in CFC production under the international agreement "Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer" and the U.S. Clean Air Act.

Ozone Layer May Be on the Mend, New Data Suggest
John Pickrell
for National Geographic News
August 5, 2003 Damage to the ozone layer, caused by chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) chemicals and other pollutants, may be starting to reverse itself according to data collected by NASA satellites. While ozone degradation continues despite global bans on ozone-depleting pollutants imposed more than a decade ago, the rate has slowed markedly enough in one layer of the atmosphere that scientists believe ozone could start to be replenished there within several years. Email to a Friend RELATED "There is compelling evidence that we are seeing the very first stages of ozone recovery in the upper atmosphere," said Michael Newchurch, an atmospheric chemist with the National Space Science and Technology Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Evidence suggests that international efforts to reduce chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) pollution are working. However, Newchurch cautioned that those efforts not be curtailed. "It is absolutely essential that we continue not producing these [ozone-depleting] substances for the rest of the time we want to live on this planet," he said.

Ozone Layer Depletion

For over 50 years, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were thought of as miracle substances. They are stable, nonflammable, low in toxicity, and inexpensive to produce. Over time, CFCs found uses as refrigerants, solvents, foam blowing agents, and in other smaller applications. Other chlorine-containing compounds include methyl chloroform, a solvent, and carbon tetrachloride, an industrial chemical. Halons, extremely effective fire extinguishing agents, and methyl bromide, an effective produce and soil fumigant, contain bromine. All of these compounds have atmospheric lifetimes long enough to allow them to be transported by winds into the stratosphere. Because they release chlorine or bromine when they break down, they damage the protective ozone layer. The discussion of the ozone depletion process below focuses on CFCs, but the basic concepts apply to all of the ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
In the early 1970s, researchers began to investigate the effects of various chemicals on the ozone layer, particularly CFCs, which contain chlorine. They also examined the potential impacts of other chlorine sources. Chlorine from swimming pools, industrial plants, sea salt, and volcanoes does not reach the stratosphere. Chlorine compounds from these sources readily combine with water and repeated measurements show that they rain out of the troposphere very quickly. In contrast, CFCs are very stable and do not dissolve in rain. Thus, there are no natural processes that remove the CFCs from the lower atmosphere. Over time, winds drive the CFCs into the stratosphere.

    ozone layer
    ozone layer or ozonosphere, region of the stratosphere containing relatively high concentrations of ozone The ozone layer prevents most ultraviolet (UV) and other high-energy radiation from penetrating to the earth's surface but does allow through sufficient ultraviolet rays to support the activation of vitamin D in humans. The full radiation, if unhindered by this filtering effect, would destroy animal tissue. Higher levels of radiation resulting from the depletion of the ozone layer have been linked with increases in skin cancers and cataracts and have been implicated in the decline of certain amphibian species.
