New study warns rocket launches could thin the Earth's recovering ozone layer by up to 3%.
New research from the University of Canterbury warns that a significant rise in rocket launches could thin the Earth's ozone layer by up to 3%.
Currently, the ozone layer is recovering from past damage caused by chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons.
However, with around 2,000 launches annually, rocket emissions could become a significant threat.
The study highlights the need to reduce the use of chlorine-containing fuels and black carbon emissions to protect the ozone layer while still allowing the space industry to grow.
The global ozone level is still about 2% lower than before the damage began.
