However, the damage was temporary and the ozone levels returned to pre-wildfire levels as the smoke dissipated from the stratosphere. Smoke from wildfires, which have become a common phenomenon across the world, can destroy the Earth’s ozone layer, a new study has found. The ozone shield in the Earth’s stratosphere absorbs the sun’s ultraviolet rays. … Read more
Researchers in Canada have developed a computer model that simulates many variables affecting the transmission of COVID-19 to suggest the best ways to slow the spread of variants. The model created by researchers at the University of Waterloo takes raw data already in use to forecast case numbers and hospitalisations, and then adds other factors, … Read more
