More Ultraviolet radiation to hit earth

Rapid changes in climate are said to redistribut the already sinking ozone layer, exposing the earth's southern parts upto 20% more ultraviolet radiation, warns a canadian study. Ultra violet radiation causes genetic changes and trigger various cancers. Writing in nature geosciences, University of Toronto researchers warned that increase in temperatures will change the circulation of the earths upper atmosphere. The researchers claim that the increase in temperature will cause increase in movement of ozone layer from earth's upper atmosphere to lower atmosphere. As a result, there will be less ozone in stratosphere to protect us and all the living beings on the earth.we know, uv causes...... The researchers warned that more ultraviolet radiation will also deeply impact the air quality, and human and ecosystem health on the earth.
