   OZONE LAYER DETERIORATING

   Recent research projects, among them, one financed by the European Union, are showing that the Ozone layer above and in wide circles, around the arctic, is continuing to deteriorate, and is exposing people living in northern Europe, from Belgium to Iceland for ever higher risk of contracting skin cancer. Many researchers from several countries and scientific environments, have participated in the research. The unambiguous results are confirming the alarming developments from earlier this winter. 60 percent of the layer is gone and the deteriorating is expected to further progressing during the spring, both in Europe and Canada.
