Main event
Montreal signed Protocol on ozone-depleting substances
September 16, 1987
Ozone layer is practically the only one protection for all living on the planet Earth from solar ultraviolet radiation.September 16, 1987
Ecological societies are tirelessly calling for a reduction in the use of chlorofluorocarbons
The ozone layer extends over the earth a huge veil that goes into space. If this layer is depleted someday, it will be dangerous for the entire biosphere, for all living things. From getting ultraviolet rays on a person, skin cancer, blindness and other diseases can occur.
In the 80 years of the 20th century, scientists made a discovery: in the Antarctic region, the total ozone content decreased by a factor of 2. It was then that the name "ozone hole" appeared. Ozone depletion is affected by chlorine oxide, which is a product of factories, industrial enterprises.
We can not prevent the appearance of ozone holes. However, it is possible to save ozone at least at the household level. Therefore, the phasing out of the controlled use of ozone-depleting substances and consequent reductions in such use contribute not only to the protection of the ozone layer for the benefit of present and future generations, but also contribute greatly to efforts to address climate change.
The Montreal Protocol consisted of 20 articles and obliged the parties involved in its signing to take appropriate measures to protect the health of people and the environment from the harmful effects that arise or may result from human activities that change or are capable of altering the ozone layer of the Earth.
The basis of these activities, according to the Protocol, should be scientific knowledge, applied with technical and economic considerations. The signing of the Protocol was also aimed at facilitating the development of international scientific and technical cooperation in the field of research and development in this direction.
Despite the fact that mankind has not managed to completely abandon the use of all substances that seriously affect and destroy the ozone layer, it is believed that due to efforts and attracting attention of the representatives of all countries to this topic, the ozone hole tends to decrease.
By decision of the UN General Assembly since 1995, September 16 is celebrated as the International Day for the Protection of the Earth's Ozone Layer.
International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer
The width of the ozone layer is so small that this distance can be traversed on foot ( ~ 40 km)
September 16 In 1994, the UN General Assembly adopted its resolution (A / RES / 49/114) on 16 September as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. The date is set in memory of the signing of the Montreal Protocol (1987) on substances that destroy the ozone layer and has been observed since 1995.
The motto of the International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer was the words: "Save the sky: protect yourself - protect the ozone layer."
States are encouraged to devote this day to advocacy in accordance with the objectives and objectives set out in the Montreal Protocol and its amendments. In addition, every year, the Day is devoted to a certain topic relating to the protection of the ozone layer.
Thus, thanks to the Montreal Protocol, human health and ecosystems are protected as a result of reduced exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation to the Earth.
On September 16, in the Italian city of Verona - the birthday of Juliet, the famous Shakespeare heroine of the saddest story in the world, is celebrated.
