Ozone Depletion: Causes, Concerns, and Ideas
Every day the potential for
skin cancer, cataracts, and disease among people increases because of a very
dangerous phenomenon that is occurring in the stratosphere, the atmosphere
above us. There is a protective bubble surrounding the globe that shields the
Earth from harmful UV-B rays that could cause cancer, and destroy other life on
the planet as well. This bubble that
guards life on Earth is known as the Ozone Layer, and the dangerous phenomenon
that is occurring is its depletion.
