Electromagnetic radiation
Electromagnetic rays, and gamma rays-is ionizing and therefore dangerous to
physique tissues, dwelling cells, and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The dangerous
effects of ultraviolet mild to people and larger animals are mitigated by the
truth that this type of radiation doesn't penetrate much additional than the
skin.
The physique of a sunbather is struck by 1021 photons each second, and 1 % of
these, or greater than a billion billion per second, are photons of ultraviolet
radiation. Tanning and pure physique pigments assist to guard the skin to some
extent, preventing the destruction of skin cells by ultraviolet light.
Nonetheless, overexposure to the ultraviolet element of sunlight could cause
pores and skin cancer, cataracts of the eyes, and harm to the physique's immune
system. Luckily a layer of ozone (O3) within the stratosphere absorbs the most
damaging ultraviolet rays, which have wavelengths of 2000 and 2900 angstroms
(one angstrom [Å] = 10-10 metre), and attenuates those with wavelengths between
2900 and 3150 Å. Without this protective layer of ozone, life on Earth wouldn't
be possible. The ozone layer is produced at an altitude of about 10 to 50
kilometres above the Earth's floor by a response between upward-diffusing
molecular oxygen (O2) and downward-diffusing ionized atomic oxygen (O+). Many
scientists consider that this life-protecting stratospheric ozone layer is being
reduced by chlorine atoms in chlorofluorocarbon (or Freon) gases released into
the ambiance by aerosol propellants, air-conditioner coolants, solvents used
within the manufacture of electronic components, and other sources.
Ionized atomic oxygen, nitrogen, and nitric oxide are produced in the upper
environment by absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation. This ionized region is
the ionosphere, which affects radio communications and displays and absorbs
radio waves of frequencies beneath forty MHz.
