1. In the upper atmosphere, the name
of the gas in the layer that reduces the amount of ultraviolet
radiation reaching the Earth's
surface is ozone.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause suntan,
sunburn and skin
cancer.
Environmental
pollution from CFCs
is depleting the ozone layer.
The

the skin can be exposed without burning.
