Skin Cancer a threat to your health
Many of us have either heard of or known somebody with skin cancer and do not pay much attention to the said disease. Do you know that the said ailment can be fatal if left untreated and it progresses to advanced stages? Thousands are afflicted by the said disease every year and the numbers just keep on rising due to global warming and the thinning of the ozone layer. The ozone layer is the layer of the atmosphere that shields us from the more harmful radiations of the sun and reflects it back into space. The amount of radiation is controlled by this special layer of the atmosphere whose importance is now just beginning to be understood. Not many paid attention to this insignificant layer of gas until a hole was detected over the pole that sent alarm bells going off all around the world. Today, skin cancer caused by this breach in the said layer is rising and coupled with the ever rising threats from pollution and other environmental disasters have brought together the most brilliant minds and governments in hopes of finding a solution to this ever growing threat to our health.
