SAN DIEGO, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United Nations' 1989 Montreal Protocol blames chlorofluorocarbons for stratospheric ozone destruction leading to polar ozone holes.

Key Points: 
  • SAN DIEGO, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United Nations' 1989 Montreal Protocol blames chlorofluorocarbons for stratospheric ozone destruction leading to polar ozone holes.
  • Electron microphotographs of particles from polar stratospheric clouds are consistent with those from coal fly ash.
  • In springtime, when polar stratospheric clouds begin to melt/evaporate, their trapped coal fly ash particles are released and rapidly destroy stratospheric ozone, which causes the polar ozone holes.
  • It is imperative to recognize the true cause of stratospheric ozone depletion, stop the jet-emplaced coal fly ash, and further reduce emissions from coal combustion.
