Not exact matches

We need to check and see, for example, whether or not the water they're serving at Molecule has been treated by ultraviolet rays, ozone treatments and reverse osmosis via a machine that costs an unimaginable amount of money.

The ozone layer — a high - altitude expanse of oxygen molecules that protects us from the sun's ultraviolet rays — has been on the mend for the past decade or so.

By separating out the starlight from the planet light, we can identify molecules in the planet's atmosphere and look for gases produced by life, like oxygen, ozone and ammonia.

Organofluorine molecules are also used in liquid crystals for displays, as well as ozone - friendly refrigerants and propellants.

A molecule containing three oxygen atoms, computer models suggest that ozone on Venus is formed when sunlight breaks up carbon dioxide molecules and releases oxygen atoms, which are swept around to the planet's nightside by winds where they can then combine to form unstable, three - atom ozone molecules, as well as much more stable, two - atom molecules essential for animals.

Methods: In this new approach, the team began with an atmospheric aerosol sample that contains thousands of molecules formed in the reactions of ozone, a common atmospheric oxidant, with limonene, a molecule emitted by various types of trees, which is responsible for the citrus scent found walking among the orange trees.

Industry balked at the aggressive schedule to fully eliminate manufacture of the molecules blamed for eating away the ozone layer shielding inhabitants of our planet, especially in the southern hemisphere, from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from our Sun.

Figure 2: Total column ozone loss relative to pre-ozone hole conditions in the 1970s in percent (left) and total number of molecules (right)(1 DU = 2.69 molecules / cm2) averaged over 2010 - 2019, during September for the Southern Hemisphere and March for the Northern Hemisphere.

For the important ultraviolet photons which are desired to be removed from the solar radiation are those less energetic photons which decompose the ozone molecules to produce another oxygen atom which again can reform another ozone molecule.

Ozone production requires something that is not oxygen, to hold onto a single oxygen atom for some period of time, until an oxygen molecule can come along and become oOzone production requires something that is not oxygen, to hold onto a single oxygen atom for some period of time, until an oxygen molecule can come along and become ozoneozone.

Reply to «Comment on «Cosmic - ray - driven reaction and greenhouse effect of halogenated molecules: Culprits for atmospheric ozone depletion and global climate change» by Dana Nuccitelli et al.» Q. - B.

As many of you will know, and perhaps recall from living memory, alarm bells started ringing when pioneering research by a group of brilliant chemists (Frank Sherwood Rowland, Mario Molina and Paul Crutzen, who were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1995) showed that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a family of chemicals used in many everyday applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning and aerosols, were destroying the ozone molecules which make up the protective layer shielding Earth from the sun's harmful rays.

Radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths dissociates atmospheric molecules, initiating chains of chemical reactions — specifically those producing stratospheric ozone — and providing the major source of heating for the middle atmosphere, while radiation at visible and near - infrared wavelengths mainly reaches and warms the lower atmosphere and the Earth's surface1.

LU, COSMIC - RAY - DRIVEN REACTION AND GREENHOUSE EFFECT OF HALOGENATED MOLECULES: CULPRITS FOR ATMOSPHERIC OZONE DEPLETION AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE, Int.

Although the identity of the ozone is not disclosed, ozone and hydrogen peroxide typically earn recognition as environmentally friendly chemistry, because both ozone and peroxide decay quickly to harmless compounds, leaving no chlorine nor complex molecules that retain their biocidal toxicity for long periods in the environment because they can not be broken down quickly.

The caveat is that these molecules can weakly absorb sunlight in the near IR and visible on combination and overtone bands, mostly of water vapor, and on weakly absorbing forbidden transitions such as the Chappius bands of ozone, and for very low concentrations of dimers.
