Satellites like Starlink could deplete Earth's ozone layer, study says
Mega satellite constellations produce destructive gases when they burn up in atmosphere at end of service lives
These satellites are designed to burn up in the atmosphere when their service lives end, researchers from the University of Southern California say. The ozone layer in the Earth’s atmosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, which can cause skin cancer on exposure and even disrupt crop yields and food production. When all the currently planned satellite constellations are in place, scientists estimate, more than 350 tonnes of aluminium oxides will be released each year.
