In 1995, three chemists, Mario Molina, Sherman Rowland, and Paul Crutzen, warned world leaders of damage being done to the O3 (ozone) layer. This natural layer of O3 molecules, located from 9 to 30 miles up into the atmosphere, protects the Earth from cancer-causing and damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun. They discovered that human-made compounds of nitrogen oxides and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases, used as refrigerants and propellants in spray cans, reacted with atmospheric ozone and reduced it. For their work, they received the 1995 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
