    Increasing industrial zones globally producing harmful green house gases in to atmosphere. Due to certain gases such as CFC, even perfume spay gases etc. ozone is getting destroyed. At some places such as Siberia (north pole), near south pole and certain other places ozone holes already created due to industrial pollution and deforestation, as a result UV radiations directly attacking earth. Direct penetration of UV radiation may create health hazards such as skin cancer etc. Ozone layer in the atmosphere is a protective shield of our mother earth. If it is lost we may have to loose earth in future. Hence I think time has come to think very seriously how to protect mother earth from UV radiations and to produce ozone artificially.



  • What is the global change impact on the upper atmosphere?

    Well, it is not the most important question but after ozone depletion story on one hand and considering increasing dependence of society on space technologies including GPS this question must not be neglected.
