HOW DOES THE DEPLETION OF THE OZONE LAYER AFFECT US?
*as taken from the Wolff System Technology Corporation’s Frequently Asked Questions Booklet A very thin level of ozone surrounds the earth and serves as a filter against UV rays. The use of chlorofluorocarbons has influenced the depletion of the ozone layer, allowing increased amounts of shorter wavelengths of UV light to reach the earth’s surface. Even though indoor tanning can help gradually build pigmentation (the body’s own way of avoiding excessive exposure to UV light), with a depleting ozone layer, there are now more chances to over-expose your skin. Precautions should be taken to avoid the risk of sunburn at all times.
