The existence of an ozone layer was first suggested in 1878 by the French physicist Alfred Cornu (1841-1902), who detected a reduction in the amount of sunlight reaching Earth s surface in the region of the electromagnetic spectrum between 240 and 310 nanometers (nm). Cornu hypothesized that the reduction in sunlight was caused by the presence of some chemical substance in the atmosphere that absorbed the radiation. His suspicions were confirmed two years later when the English chemist Walter Noel Hartley (1846-1913) measured the optical properties of ozone and was able to show that it satisfied the conditions of Cornu s absorber.

Pigman was a recipient of the C. S. Hudson Award in 1959, and received the Medal of the French Biological Society in 1963, and the Medal of the University of Milan in 1964. From 1956 to 1960, he presided over the Committee on Social Aspects of Science of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and also served a term as Chairman of the Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry of the American Chemical Society. His published works number well over three hundred articles. He fondly talked about those whose scientific interests he shared David Aminoff, Don M. Carlson, Zacharias Dische, Alfred Gottschalk, W. Z. Hassid, Roger W. Jeanloz, N. K. Kochetkov, and many others.

Alfred Nobel s health had always been delicate. In his later years, he developed a heart condition and he often complained about his poor health in letters to his relatives. Nevertheless, when the situation so required, for instance during the crisis involving his French dynamite companies, he could display an amazing energy and drive, perhaps even ruthlessness. However, in 1895 he must have had a premonition of his life drawing to an end, and on 27 November he made his will in which he provided for the prizes that have been named after him. What made him select the particular fields of human endeavor where prizes should be awarded ... 

Immanuel was eventually able to bring his family to Russia, where his sons were given a private education. Alfred Nobel s interests ranged from literature and poetry to physics and chemistry. Nobel s command of foreign languages was excellent by the age of seventeen he was fluent in Swedish, Russian, French, English, and German, which aided him in his future business transactions.
