A recent study published in ChemBioChem explores how ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) pretreatment can enhance the enzymatic breakdown of mixed cotton/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) textiles using PETase.

When winter chill strikes, people stay indoors more often, giving airborne pathogens -- such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza -- prime opportunities to spread. Germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) lamps can help ...

The UVOCS T10x10/OES Ultraviolet Ozone Cleaning System provides a simple, inexpensive and fast method of obtaining ultra-clean surfaces free of organic contaminants. This process is ideal when thin ...

Short ultraviolet/ozone (UVO) treatment optimizes cell adhesion on plastic culture substrates by selectively enriching adhesion proteins, as reported by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo.

In one of the great environmental success stories of our time, scientists say that a 35-year-old agreement has resulted in the steady and promising recovery of the Earth's ozone layer, a critical ...

The scale for the thickness of the ozone layer ranges from 0 to 500 Dobson units. Scientists use the word “hole” to describe areas with ozone concentrations below 220 Dobson units. Source: NASA Earth ...

Ozone is a pollutant at ground level, but very high in the atmosphere's 'ozone layer,' it absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation. Past studies have examined ozone levels in the Southern Hemisphere, ...

The late spring’s sun and warm temperature beckon residents outdoors but, beware: there’s a danger that is not visible.  The ...
