I am posting this as it seems very much related to my Previous post to an article on Potential Ozone Depletion From Satellite Demise During Atmospheric Reentry in the Era of Mega-Constellations
It would be interesting to find how, how much Aluminium (if any) is contained within the ISS and how much of that will end up being subject to Oxidation given the evidence from the research in the depletion of the Ozone layer. This, I would guess, is in addition to any other satellites that also fall to Earth and burn up in the Atmosphere.
