Mario Molina, the first Mexican Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, passed away at the age of 77. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1995 alongside Paul Crutzen and F. Sherwood Rowland for their groundbreaking research on atmospheric chemistry, specifically the formation and decomposition of ozone and the detrimental effects of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) on the ozone layer. Molina's work significantly contributed to global awareness and policy changes regarding ozone depletion.
