September 16 was designated by the United Nations General Assembly as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.
This year’s theme for the World Ozone Day 2020 is “Ozone for life: 35 years of ozone layer protection”.
The ultraviolet radiation or UV rays emitted by the sun have the potential to cause skin cancer and cataract. These harmful rays also cause significant damage not only to humans but also to plant and marine life. Hence, the ozone layer acts as a protective shield against all such harmful radiations from the sun.
Ozone layer has been protecting the earth since it’s existence but are we doing the same for it?
This world’s ozone day, let’s be responsible and join our hands together to save ozone!
