antarctica above the fall formed the ozone hole is currently almost at its lowest in human measurement history, telling Us weather and ocean research organisation, national oceanic and atmospheric administration and national aeronautics and space administration agency Nasa (you move to another service).

the Gap is currently only about 10 million square kilometers large, when it the usual events of the time, it is at this time about twice bigger. The last time the gap has been as small in 1982. Nasa’s measurements from 1979 (you move to another service).

It is actually not really a gap, but the region is only intermittently clearly thinner ozone layer than the rest of the planet. The term ozone hole only separated from the phenomenon to the general the earth’s atmosphere the ozone concentration calculation.

Why ozone fitness is important?

Ozone acts as the earth to the sun as the shadow and as fat. It protects the planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation, which can cause skin cancer, cataracts, weaken the immune system and harm your plants. The smaller the ozone hole is, the less radiation the earth to reach.

Ozone created by the earth’s surface in the vicinity of existing pollution, cause instead of, inter alia, asthma, lungs tube inflammation and breathing difficulties.

Ozone depletion will focus on just the polar regions. It are this year to curb the exceptionally warm weather in the stratosphere of the Antarctic above. The last time a similar situation has been syyskuissa 1988 and 2002. Noaa says stratospheric warming and climate change has not been found in scientific contact.

the Cheers will be.

– it Is important to understand that the ozone hole small size is only due to the usual higher strato spherical temperatures, and is not a sign that the ozone would have to somehow permanently fix themselves, Nasa researcher Paul Newman said the Noaa bulletin.

scientists believe the ozone hole is decreasing 1980-year level by the year 2070 at the latest. This can be thank ozone-depleting chemicals restrictions on the use of which has been achieved worldwide, signed the 1987 Montreal protocol. The agreement was prevented, possibly also the size of the ozone’s destruction.

common in at least some part of the stratosphere is completely devoid of ozone. This year, measurements have shown that such parts have not been.

One ozone measurement with satellites is interestingly called the Nasa-Noaa Finland the National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite.

the case for fixed 23.10. watch 11.39: Case read previously that the aperture is at its smallest measurement history. In reality, it is at its lowest since the 1982. Nasa is the statistics of the ozone hole size since 1979.
