Does aircraft exhaust gas threaten the ozone layer?
Description
Time and again allegations are made that jet aircraft, which travel at high altitude, destroy the stratospheric ozone layer of our earth and contribute to the greenhouse effect. The current state of knowledge on atmospheric chemistry permits to give a more differentiated judgement of the situation. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Immer wieder wird behauptet, dass die in grosser Hoehe fliegenden Duesenflugzeuge die stratosphaerische Ozonschicht unserer Erde zerstoeren und zum Treibhauseffekt beitragen. Mit dem derzeitigen Kenntnisstand der Atmosphaerenchemie ist eine differenziertere Beurteilung der Situation moeglich. (orig.)Additional details
