Robert de Zafra, Physicist, DEAD @ 85
Noteworthy for his work on researching Ozone.
He helped confirm that the chemicals in some aerosols and refrigerants were responsible for the expanding ozone hole over Antarctica.
Dr. de Zafra graduated in 1954 from Princeton University and received his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland in 1958. He taught at SUNY Stony Brook beginning in the early 1960s and in 1986 was part of the first National Ozone Expedition to McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
