Rising soil nitrous acid emissions, driven by climate change and fertilization, accelerate global ozone pollution

Ozone pollution is a global environmental concern that not only threatens human health and crop production, but also worsens global warming. While the formation of ozone is often attributed to anthropogenic pollutants, soil emissions are revealed to be another important source.

"Forty years ago this month, scientists reported that human activities had punctured Earth’s protective ozone layer. What happened next offers a masterclass in international science-diplomacy.

This was to be the Montreal Protocol, which was adopted in 1987. Among other actions, states agreed to reduce the production and consumption of certain CFCs to 50% of 1986 levels by 1999.

The treaty laid the foundations for a remarkable success. As of 2024, worldwide emissions of the main ODS are 99% lower than at their peak, in 1989, and the ozone layer is on track to recover to pre-1980 levels by mid-century."

Venus Shows Why Ozone Isn't a Good Biosignature

Just because we can find ozone in the atmosphere of other planets doesn't mean there's life. Ozone is a sign of life on Earth, but its detection on Venus shows that it can also be produced abiotically. This indicates that there are different pathways for its creation, not only on Venus but also on other Venus-like exoplanets.

Southeast Asia could prevent up to 36,000 ozone-related early deaths a year by 2050 with stricter air pollution controls

A study has found that implementing robust air pollution control measures could mean Southeast Asian countries prevent as many as 36,000 ozone-related premature deaths each year by 2050.

The Ozone layer is well on track to recover its pre-1980s levels. This is a story I don't think we talk about enough and is well discussed on this piece. The parallels, and differences, with climate change are also well covered. Worth reading.

AIR QUALITY ALERTS FOR TUESDAY:

The #wildfires in the #Northland had led to an #AirQuality Alert for most of the Arrowhead region, which will run through Tuesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, high #ozone levels from the south have moved north, impacting our far western counties for Tuesday.
