For my fellow Chemistry and Scientist friends—
Not sure if any of you ever follow the UV team on YouTube.
Anyway, Ozone breakdown is definitely a progressing issue. The presence of ionizing radiation (UVC) reaching Earth’s surface is beginning to appear in greater quantities, let alone the UVA+UVB average levels by month.
Yesterday, he shared a video of a UV reading at solar noon from SE Phoenix and was able to detect UVC of 34 uW/cm2 with nearly a 10 UVA +UVB. The fact that sub 280 nanometer light isn’t being absorbed by the atmosphere like it should is a concerning thought. Here in SE Tennessee we sit at 35N and get near 11 total UV levels on a clear to partly cloudy day and we’re still a couple weeks away from the summer solstice.
Here’s the channel if anyone is interested in following along.
