Mário Molina

Sull'autore

Mário Molina was a distinguished Mexican chemist recognized for his groundbreaking research on the depletion of the ozone layer. His pioneering work in atmospheric chemistry demonstrated how chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) contributed to ozone depletion, leading to significant changes in international environmental policy. Molina's contributions were crucial in raising awareness about the impacts of human activities on the environment, which ultimately resulted in the Montreal Protocol-a global agreement to phase out substances responsible for ozone depletion.

Throughout his career, Molina received numerous accolades for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1995, which he shared with Paul Crutzen and F. Sherwood Rowland. He continued to advocate for environmental issues, focusing on climate change and sustainable development. Molina's legacy is evident in the ongoing efforts to protect the ozone layer and his influence on policies aimed at safeguarding the planet for future generations.
