		Mario J. Molina (born March 19, 1943) was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his role in elucidating the threat to the Earth's ozone layer of chlorofluorocarbon gases (or CFCs).
		Molina was born in Mexico City, son of Roberto Molina Pasquel, a lawyer, and Leonor Henriquez de Molina.
		Molina earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico in 1965, a postgraduate degree from the University of Freiburg, West Germany in 1967 and a doctoral degree in physical chemistry from UC Berkeley, California in 1972.

		Mario Molina, one of three atmospheric chemists to share the 1995 Nobel Prize, will deliver a chemistry colloquium on campus on April 4 at 4:40 p.m.
		Molina and Rowland closely calculated the mean atmospheric lifetimes of typical CFCs and deduced the catalytic role of the released chlorine atoms in the destruction of ozone molecules.
		Molina now is studying the effects of CFCs in the Northern Hemisphere, including the impact of chlorine emissions from a proposed fleet of supersonic transports currently being tested by NASA, and the effects of volcanic particulates on atmospheric ozone.
