Atmosphere alert

Weather forecasters, airline companies and sunbathers may all have to
change tack as a result of a 5-year strategy launched this week by Britain’s
Natural Environment Research Council. The council is to step up its research
into atmospheric pollution, and says that this could result in the re-routeing
of aircraft to avoid damage to the ozone layer. The research could also
bring in more accurate weather predictions and improved warnings for sunbathers.
