If you are still deserted Antarctica is considered a place where the sun is most pronounced radiation, but now the situation has changed. A team of scientists from the US and Germany, spotted a place in the world where the level of UV light during power measurement reached a record - and this is the place located close to densely populated areas.
It is reported that in the Andes Researchers recorded the ultraviolet radiation of such a force, a sun radiation did not reach ever recorded at any point of the Earth. Scientists studied Alpine Lake in the Andes, to compare their conditions with the situation in other planets, including the level of solar radiation measured on the shores of the lake the crater of the volcano licancabur (5 917 meters above sea level).
Indicators unusually intensified UV totaled four times more than the norm, which man can bear. At the same time experts alarmed by the fact that a record indicators have been identified in areas such as Antarctica thinned ozone bed - and in the tropical zone, adjacent to the villages and small towns.
The paper specialists Ames Research Center NASA, published in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science, said that the discovery of the place with the highest the level of solar radiation in the world - it does not work one day, and the result of analysis of observations, that took place a few years licancabur surroundings. The researchers found that the intensity UV radiation reaches it maximum of 26 points, and December 29, 2003 instruments recorded jump to record 43 points - a UV power never recorded on the Earth's surface. To estimate can be compared: human extreme ultraviolet is considered to be the level of 11 points, when the sun burns can get even the most dark-skinned people, if you do not take action Precautions.
According to scientists, the anomaly, likely associated with solar flares have weakened the ozone layer that combined with the high altitude and cloudless weather and UV radiation made record strong. The fact that it was recorded near the equator in the neighborhood with people forcing experts do not the most optimistic forecasts. They Ratings in the future force spikes comparable UV radiation become more frequent phenomenon in a number of regions of the Earth, which would entail negative consequences for humans and other living organisms. "High level UV radiation has a negative impact on the biosphere, violated the processes of photosynthesis and reduced viability, "- reminded the authors of the high potential dangerous ultraviolet radiation.
