From the supplier: The stratospheric ozone layer acts to shield the earth and everything on it from the harmful solar ultraviolet radiation UV-B. There is mounting scientific evidence showing that the ozone layer is being severely depleted by the excessive emission of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. This could result in numerous health problems for people, such as skin problem, cataracts and immune system impairement. A depleted ozone layer could also lead to more crop damage and to the destruction of vital food chains on land and sea. The severity of the ozone problem is now recognized worldwide. One of the most notable international efforts being made to protect the ozone layer was the creation of the Montreal Protocol (MP). The MP aims to reduce the consumption of ozone-depleting substances. It is suggested that financial incentives may expedite the implementation of the MP in developing countries.
