PRINT THIS ARTICLE SUBMIT YOUR COMMENTS Mario Molina: Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Mario Molina, Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology In 1995, he shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry In 1995, 20 years after their seminal article appeared in Nature magazine, the production of CFCs was banned in developed countries by the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement convened by the United Nations Environment Programme. Dr. Molina has continued teaching and research. When scientists discovered a huge hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica in 1984, some skeptics still questioned whether CFCs were causing the damage. He showed how chlorine-activation reactions were taking place in the presence of ice under polar stratospheric conditions and eating away the ozone layer. In recent years, he has directed a joint project between MIT and local government in Mexico City to improve the dangerous air quality situation in his hometown.

Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Professor Paul Crutzen , Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany (Dutch citizen), Professor Mario Molina , Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences and Department of Chemistry, MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA and Professor F. Sherwood Rowland , Department of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine, CA, USA for their work in atmospheric chemistry, particularly concerning the formation and decomposition of ozone. Professor Paul Crutzen Professor Mario Molina Professor F. Sherwood Rowland The ozone layer - the Achilles heel of the biosphere The atmosphere surrounding the earth contains small quantities of ozone - a gas with molecules consisting of three oxygen atoms (O ). If all the ozone in the atmosphere were compressed to a pressure corresponding to that at the earth's surface, the layer would be only 3 mm thick. But even though ozone occurs in such small quantities, it plays an exceptionally fundamental part in life on earth. This is because ozone, together with ordinary molecular oxygen (O ), is able to absorb the major part of the sun's ultra-violet radiation and therefore prevent this dangerous radiation from reaching the surface. Without a protective ozone layer in the atmosphere, animals and plants could not exist, at least upon land. It is therefore of the greatest importance to understand the processes that regulate the atmosphere's ozone content.

Mario Molina made important discoveries about the danger of chemicals to the earth's atmosphere. He won a Nobel Prize. Biography When Mario Molina was a young boy living in Mexico City, he loved science so much that he turned one of the rooms in his family´s house into a lab. He spent hours there playing with chemistry sets. Little did he dream as a boy that one day he would make discoveries that would help protect the world's atmosphere, and he would become famous. While he was fascinated by chemicals, Molina knew as a young man that chemicals can be dangerous, too. In his lab as a graduate student, he began to investigate "chlorofluorocarbons" — known as CFCs — a group of chemicals used in spray cans, air conditioners, and other items you would find in any house. He and Professor Sherwood Rowland discovered that when these gases enter the atmosphere, they break apart. The chlorine atoms from them were destroying part of the ozone layer . This layer filters out most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting life on earth.

Mario Molina made important discoveries about the danger of chemicals to the earth's atmosphere. He won a Nobel Prize. Interview Transcript Mario Molina won a Nobel Prize for the important discoveries he and two other scientists made about the dangers of chemicals to the earth's ozone layer. He was the first Mexican American to receive a Nobel Prize. Students interviewed Molina on Oct. 6, 1998. Were you interested in science when you were young? When I was in elementary school, I was very interested in science already. I must have been ten or eleven years old. I started experiments with chemistry sets at my home in Mexico. I was able to borrow a bathroom and convert it to a laboratory. My parents supported it. They were pleased. My friends just tolerated it. It was very thrilling to find out how nature works. I remember playing with toy microscopes. I discovered I could see all sorts of life, like a drop of water that had been in contact with pesticides. I could see all kinds of creatures that were moving but that seemed invisible. Did you have any role models when you were growing up?

La Jornada 12 de octubre de 1995 ``Ojalá que mi premio estimule la investigación en México'' Arturo García Hernández ¤ Mario Molina, primer mexicano que obtiene el premio Nobel de Química, hace un recordatorio necesario: ``El problema de la investigación científica en México es de recursos y de educación''. Desde su casa en Massachusetts, concede una entrevista por teléfono a La Jornada. Allá son poco más de la diez de la noche. Ha sido uno de los días más intensos de su vida. A pesar del cúmulo extenuante de actividades y emociones generadas por el premio, su voz es cordial y pausada. El investigador, que tiene más de 20 años de radicar en Estados Unidos, no se considera ejemplo de quien no es profeta en su tierra. ``El haber salido de México simplemente lo veo como resultado del modo como funciona la comunidad científica mundial. Aquí hay un gran intercambio de estudiantes y, claro, muchos regresan a sus países, pero Estados Unidos brinda la posibilidad real para desarrollar científicos de primera categoría (...) Yo espero que en México se genere un ambiente que sea atractivo para trabajar, pero esto involucra dedicar recursos a la ciencia. El problema es de recursos y de educación; en México hay que educar a una gran cantidad de estudiantes y es difícil aislarse para hacer una investigación de alta categoría''.

My friends, Paul J. Crutzen and Mario Molina, and I are most grateful for the honours bestowed upon us today, for the Nobel Prize is the ultimate in recognition in the scientific world. It is immensely satisfying to us that our efforts to understand the chemistry of ozone in the atmosphere have been judged worthy of this honour. The atmosphere and its manifold changes have held fascination for men and women ever since human beings have trod this Earth. Its study played an integral role in the evolution of natural philosophy from which all of our present sciences have sprung. The scientific and technological developments of the past several decades, not available to our predecessors in past millennia, have provided the theories and tools which have now permitted us to develop a significant understanding of several atmospheric processes which affect the concentration of ozone in our stratosphere.
