National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences - NIEHS Stratospheric Research Leads to Nobel Prize But will the Shield Recover Soon? In the stratospere, the news is bad, but probably would be worse except for an eccentric Dutchman and two Amercians on a mission Even small changes in the ozone layer in the stratosphere have been linked to an increase in skin cancer. Further deterioration could be even more harmful. Indeed, without the ozone layer's filter, life on earth as we know it could not exist. In the 1980s, an ozone hole was found to be forming every spring over Antarctica, where cold, stratospheric temperatures promote the chemical reactions that destroy ozone. Scientists are watching for UV damage to penguins, whales and the vital food chain of fish and other sea creatures, including the microscopic algae (phytoplankton) that are the base food for the undersea food chain. The Arctic has no land mass and is warmer than Antarctica, but an ozone hole now appears over the North Pole as well. However, prospects for life on earth are brighter today than they undoubtedly would have been if there had been no Paul Crutzen, a Dutchman who taught himself chemistry. He dresses eccentrically, showing up for a formal-dress lecture in sandals and open shirt and talking from scribbled notesyet, reported the New York Times, "mesmerizing" his audience. In 1970, Dr. Crutzen showed that the ozone layer is created naturally by the action of sunlight on oxygenand can be destroyed by compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

The Scientist 9[22]:, Nov. 13, 1995 Hot Papers Nobel Citation Classic Tribute By None Editor's Note: In honor of last month's announcement of the 1995 winners of the Nobel Prizes, The Scientist here reprints essays written by two of this year's laureates: Martin Perl, a co-winner in physics, and F. Sherwood Rowland, a corecipient of the chemistry prize. These articles discuss the situation surrounding the research, writing, and submission of the extraordinarily highly cited (and, now, Nobel Prize-winning) research papers describing their investigations. These two pieces were first published in the mid-1980s as "Citation Classic" essays in Current Contents, published by the Philadelphia-based Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Perl's essay describes the discovery of electron-positron annihilations, which led to his team's discovery of a new atomic particle, the tau lepton. Rowland's essay discusses the first detailed report on the chemical reactions affecting chlorofluoromethanes after their release into the environment. The essays are reprinted here with the permission of ISI. Physical Review Letters :1489-92, 1975. (Cited in more than 500 publications through August 1995)

Home New Links Search ... Change Digest Scientists Receive Nobel Prize for Ozone Research Congressional skeptics are unimpressed; prize winner sees "real ignorance" By Nick Sundt GLOSSARY FORUM Public Discussion Area SEARCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE As some members of Congress raised questions about the scientific underpinnings of efforts to protect stratospheric ozone, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences made its own clear statement by its choice of winners of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. The Nobel Foundation's award this year went to three scientists whose findings advanced scientific understanding of stratospheric ozone depletion and helped justify government efforts to protect the ozone-layer. Paul Crutzen of the Max-Planck Institute for Chemistry (Mainz, Germany), Mario Molina of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Massachusetts) and F. Sherwood Rowland of the University of California at Irvine shared the $1 million dollar prize. "Thanks to our good scientific understanding of the ozone problem (and very largely to Crutzen, Molina and Rowland)," said the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, "it has been possible to make far-reaching decisions on prohibiting the release of gases that destroy ozone." The academy said the researchers "contributed to our salvation from a global environmental problem that could have catastrophic consequences."

January 30, 1997 Contact: Staci I. Shipp, (615) 322-2706 shipp@uansv4.vanderbilt.edu Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry to visit Vanderbilt Feb. 10 NASHVILLE, Tenn. Nobel Prize-winning chemist F. Sherwood Rowland, one of the first scientists to warn that chlorofluorocarbon gases (CFCs) deplete the ozone layer, will present a seminar titled "Two Atmospheric Problems: Ozone Depletion and Global Warming" sponsored by the Vanderbilt University Department of Chemistry at 4:10 p.m. Feb. 10 in Room 103 of Wilson Hall. A reception will be held in his honor immediately following in the lobby of Wilson Hall. The seminar is free and open to the public. Rowland, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Irvine, is a specialist in atmospheric chemistry and radiochemistry. He, along with Mario Molina of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Paul Crutzen of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry by the Royal Swedish Academy of Scientists for research in atmospheric chemistry, particularly concerning the formation and decomposition of ozone. Rowland and Molina, who worked at UCI with Rowland during 1973 to 1975, researched the impact of CFCs on the ozone layer while Crutzen dealt primarily with stratospheric effects of nitrogen oxides. As a result of research on CFCs and stratospheric ozone, legislative efforts were enacted during the 1970s in the United States, Canada and Scandinavia to regulate the manufacture and use of CFCs. In 1985, the discovery of the ozone hole above Antarctica confirmed the severe effect of the CFCs on ozone. This also led to the Montreal Protocol of the United Nations Environment Program in 1987, the first international agreement to regulate emissions in order to limit the environmental damage already inflicted on the atmosphere. The terms of the agreement were strengthened in 1992 to attain a complete phaseout of further CFC production by 1996.

Ozone (O ), a harmful compound at ground level, is scattered thinly throughout the layer of the atmosphere called the stratosphere. This layer is also known as the ozone layer. Ozone is formed when ultra-violet tradiation from the sun splits an oxygen molecule, O , into two atoms which then join with another oxygen molecule to form O

Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland, Nobelist: UNOCAL Distinguished Lecturer by Cynthia Velting, Undergraduate Chemistry Student Editor's Note The Chemistry/Bochemistry Department's Distinguished Visiting Lectureship was instituted in 1980 with Rachelle Laboratories as the sponsor, until 1987. In 1988 UNOCAL became the sponsor of this prestigious series. This year's UNOCAL Lecturer was Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland, Professor of Chemistry at UC Irvine, and winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the origin of the "ozone hole." He gave a talk to the University Community on "Ozone Depletion" on April 17. Dr. Rowland, Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine, is a recipient of many honors and several honorary degrees and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. The following is a summary of his talk, prepared by an undegraduate student. Dr. Rowland's interest in atmospheric chemistry led him to the study of the relationship between chlorofluorcarbons and the depletion of the ozone layer. Chlorofluorocarbons, used as aerosol propellants, as refrigerants, in the manufacture of plastic foams, and for cleaning of electronic components, have found their way into the atmosphere, and then diffuse into the stratosphere where they are responsible for ozone depletion. The ozone "layer" protects the surface of the earth from the destructive effects of UV radiation. The only significant removal process for these compounds is photochemical destruction in the stratosphere by solar ultraviolet radiation. In the ozone layer UV light splits ozone into O

Rowland, F. Sherwood I was born on June 28, 1927, the second of three sons, in the small central Ohio town of Delaware, the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. My father and mother had moved there the previous year when he took the position of Professor of Mathematics and Chairman of the Department at Ohio Wesleyan. All of my elementary and high school education was received in the Delaware public schools from an excellent set of teachers. The Delaware school system then believed in accelerated promotion, so that I entered first grade at age 5 and skipped the fourth grade entirely, with the result that I entered high school at 12 and graduated a few weeks before my sixteenth birthday. The college preparatory curriculum was strong on Latin, English, History, Science and Mathematics. The academic side of high school was easy for me, and I enjoyed it. In several summers of my early teens, the high school science teacher entrusted to me during his two week vacations the operation of the local volunteer weather station, an auxiliary part of the U.S. weather service-maximum and minimum temperatures and total precipitation. This was my first exposure to systematic experimentation and data collection. Our home was filled with books, and all of us were avid readers. My reading at that time ran toward naval history, which was complemented with realistic scale-models and simulated naval battles using an elaborate mathematical system for rating each warship and the effects of combat on them.
