An international research team led by the University of Bremen has detected chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in Earth's atmosphere for the first time in historical measurements from 1951—20 years earlier ...

In 1985, scientists “accidentally” discovered a yawning hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica. Initial research suggested ...

Chlorofluorocarbons are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, a researcher claims in a controversial new study. CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth ...

Two new chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one new hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) have been found in the atmosphere by a group of scientists. Scientists made the discovery by comparing today's air samples ...

For decades, we used chemicals called clorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in aerosol cans and refridgerators, unaware of the effect they had on the environment. In the 1970s, scientists began to realize that ...

A recent report says CFCs, not carbon dioxide, are the culprit in climate change. weegeeboard/Flickr On Monday, a report appeared in the Australian claiming a link between chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) in ...
