Smoke particles from wildfires can erode ozone layer: Research
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A wildfire can send smoke into the stratosphere, where it can linger for up to a year. According to a new MIT study, these particles can cause chemical reactions that erode the protective ozone layer that protects the Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation while suspended there.
