Mario Molina was a Mexican chemist renowned for his groundbreaking research on the depletion of the ozone layer caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Along with Frank Sherwood Rowland, he co-authored a pivotal study in 1974 that outlined the mechanisms by which CFCs break down ozone in the atmosphere. His work significantly influenced environmental policy, leading to the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty aimed at phasing out ozone-depleting substances. In recognition of his contributions, Molina was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1995.
