In recent years, several scientific organizations have shown an increase in the hole in theozone layer in the Antarctic zone, which causes a greater incidence of high frequency ultraviolet solar radiation.
The ozone layer is inside the Earth’s atmosphere and its function is to protect us from theultraviolet rays coming from the sun (also called UV rays), absorbing between 97-99% of them. This layer is located at a distance of 15 to 50 km from the surface of the earth.
The destruction of the ozone layer has accelerated compared to its natural rhythm due tothe production of certain substances called halocarbons. This causes the thinning of the layer and the generation of the known ozone holes, with which the Earth loses protection against solar radiation. The passage of the strongest solar rays causes in human liver diseases such as burns, skin cancer, cataracts in the eyes, as well as damage to crops such as rice and soybeans.
