Protection of the Ozone Layer - English
URL: http://www.iisd.ca/linkages/journal/sarma.html

The issue of depletion of the ozone layer was one of the first global environmental emergencies faced by UNEP. The stratospheric ozone layer protects the earth from excessive UV-B radiation from the sun. The atmosphere next to earth up to about 10 kilometres is called troposphere and stratosphere is above the troposphere, up to about 50 kilometres. The thin layer of ozone has been formed in the stratosphere by the action of solar radiation on normal oxygen. It is continuously formed and destroyed through natural processes leading to a natural balance.

The ozone layer over the Northern hemisphere has decreased by 15-20% since 1980. A 10% drop in stratospheric ozone levels is likely to lead globally to 300,000 more skin cancer cases, 14,000 more malignant melanomas & 1.6 million more cataracts each year, plus general decrease in human immunity systems.
