Detailed explanation-1: -Ozone is a particularly effective absorber of UV radiation. As the ozone layer gets thinner, the protective filter activity of the atmosphere is progressively reduced. Consequently, the people and the environment are exposed to higher levels of UV radiation, especially UVB.
Detailed explanation-2: -When UV-C light reaches the stratosphere, it is completely absorbed by oxygen molecules and never reaches the Earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ozone layer protects us from potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stratospheric ozone is a naturally-occurring gas that filters the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This is typically regarded as ‘good’ ozone since it reduces the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation. A diminished ozone layer allows more radiation to reach the Earth’s surface.
