back-scattered solar UV radiation absorbed by ozone in the atmosphere; the amount of UV absorbed is proportional to the amount of ozone present in the atmosphere. UV radiation: a component of the solar radiation spectrum with wavelengths shorter than those of visible light; most solar UV radiation is absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere; some UV radiation reaches the earth’s surface, in particular UV-B which has been implicated in serious health effects for humans and animals; the wavelength range of UV-B is 280-315 nanometres.
