Tell Me Does The Depletion Of Ozone Layer Increase Ground-level Ultraviolet Radiation? |
|
Answer» Yes, ultraviolet radiation at Earth's surface increases as the amount of overhead TOTAL ozone DECREASES, because ozone ABSORBS ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. Measurements by ground-based INSTRUMENTS and estimates made using SATELLITE data have confirmed that surface ultraviolet radiation has increased in regions where ozone depletion is observed.
