The ozone layer “Our planet is
everyone's home” • What is the ozone layer?
It is for living beings like a protective umbrella, against the
extremely dangerous ultraviolet rays of the sun.
• What is happening to the ozone layer?
Currently the ozone layer is thinning due to the improper use
of industrialized substances that destroy it and make the hole
produced larger.
• Did you know?
If the Sun's radiation were to reach the Earth's surface without passing through the ozone filter, it
would cause many harmful effects.
On September 16, the "International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer" is celebrated.
