LAWRENCE One of the scientists who received a Nobel Prize for determining that chlorofluorocarbons - or CFCs - were harming the Earth's atmosphere, will deliver two lectures on smog and global warming on the KU campus in April. F. Sherwood Rowland, a former University of Kansas chemistry professor and recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in chemistry, will deliver the Department of Chemistry Werner Lecture, a technical/scientific lecture, at 3:30 p.m. Monday, April 15, in 110 Budig Hall at KU. He will speak on "Global Smog: Cities and Biomass Burning." On Tuesday, April 16, Rowland will present "The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming," a general lecture sponsored by the Department of Chemistry and the KU Center for Research. This lecture will take place at 3:30 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Both lectures are free and open to the public.

This unexpected discovery prompted Lovelock to do further studies. Accordingly, he asked the British government for a modest sum of money to place his apparatus on board a ship traveling from England to Antarctica. His request was rejected; one reviewer commented that even if such a measurement succeeded, he could not imagine a more useless bit of knowledge than finding the atmospheric concentration of CFC-11.

Extractions: CFCs were a "miracle compound" until the Antarctic Ozone Hole was discovered. Ozone depletion. A deadly serious global environmental issue...but also one of the few environmental success stories! How did a global environmental scare turn out to have a (almost) happy ending? The ozone depletion story starts with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a family of commonly used industrial compounds. Invented in 1928 by an eccentric Ohio scientist named Thomas Midgley, Jr., CFCs came to be called "miracle compound" because they made so many everyday conveniences a reality. CFCs were efficient refrigerants, making household refrigeration possible; excellent coolants in home and car air conditioners; propellants for dispensing aerosol sprays; filler in foam packaging and insulation; and later they were put to use as a cleaning agent in the manufacture of computers. It would not have been an exaggeration to say that much of the modern lifestyle of the mid-20th century had been made possible by the "miracle compound." (Incidentally, Midgley also invented leaded gasoline.) In 1974, however, after millions of tons of CFCs had been manufactured and sold, chemists F. Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina of the University of California at Irvine began to wonder where all these CFCs ended up. The reason CFCs worked so well was because they were chemically stable nothing in earth's atmosphere caused them to break apart into their constituent atoms of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon. But Rowland and Molina theorized that short waves of ultraviolet light in the stratosphere, the part of earth's atmosphere 10-15 miles up, would dissociate CFCs, and that the free chlorine atoms would then enter into a catalytic chain reaction with ozone, an unstable form of oxygen that surrounds the globe at stratospheric altitudes.
Atmospheric Ozone by F. sherwood rowland. During the last two decades, the word ozone and the F. sherwood rowland received the 1995 Nobel Laureate in chemistry and is http://www.earthinstitute.columbia.edu/library/earthmatters/spring2000/pages/pag
Extractions: Ozone in nature has always naturally been changed back into ordinary oxygen by other reactions, chiefly catalytic chains involving oxides of hydrogen and nitrogen. As production of CFCs accelerated during the 1960s and 1970s, the reactions of chlorine became a significant addition to the natural processes, and ozone went away faster than previously, leaving fewer molecules to intercept solar UV radiation. Now, only about 30% as much ozone exists over Antarctica every spring, while ozone in the temperate latitudes has decreased since 1960 by about 10% in winter and spring, and 5% in summer and autumn. A major consequence of these losses in stratospheric ozone is that larger amounts of harmful UV-B radiation reach Earth's surface with effects on the biological species there. The primary effects of UV-B on humans are skin cancer and cataracts. The Montreal Protocol of the United Nations banned further production and release of CFCs and Halons in the industrial countries after January 1, 1996, and their atmospheric release has now been reduced almost to zero in compliance with this treaty. However, because of the 50 to 100 year lifetimes of CFCs, stratospheric ozone recovery will stretch into the 22nd century. coupled together with weaker solar UV not absorbed by stratospheric ozone. Because the same combination of chemical reactions also occurs during the daylight burning of agricultural wastes or forests, an increase in ground-level ozone is a major consequence of biomass burning. Plumes from such burning have been traced for many thousands of miles over both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Others cling to the Lakers of the Kareem era, or the Celtics of the 1960s. In baseball, many point to the Yankees of the 1920s. Some sports authorities argue that it's impossible to compare teams from different erasand that trying to declare an all-time greatest team in all of sports is a hopeless exercise in comparing apples and oranges. Most Nobel Prize winners are lauded for what they have given society, not for what they have taken away. Then there is the team of three scientists who shared the chemistry prize in 1995. F. Sherwood Rowland, SM'51, PhD'52, DSc(Hon)'89, recipient of the University's 1997 Alumni Medal, is one of those three laureates.
