Sherwood Rowland
Sherwood Rowland was a prominent American chemist known for his groundbreaking research on the harmful effects of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) on the ozone layer. Alongside Mario Molina, Rowland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1995 for his pivotal work in atmospheric chemistry, which played a crucial role in raising global awareness about ozone depletion. His contributions significantly influenced environmental policy, including the establishment of the Montreal Protocol, which successfully phased out the use of CFCs worldwide. Rowland's legacy continues to impact environmental science and policy discussions regarding climate change and sustainability.
