At present, there is a sharp reduction in ozone due to emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Which can cause the spread of skin cancer in the world. In fact, melanoma is a type well known.
The worsening air pollution
Currently, the worsening air pollution is characterized by the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment. We can cite mainly nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide. This is due to the development of manufacturing industries and vehicular traffic, especially in urban areas. Indeed, this harmful gas emissions reduced by increasing the ozone layer causing the appearance of various diseases such as respiratory problems, skin cancer, lung cancer, etc..
Ozone as a natural filter
But here we will speak of skin cancer. One of its causes is the lack of the ozone layer which has the property to protect the skin against ultraviolet rays. In other words, it serves as a natural filter. Apart from that there are factors favoring skin cancer such as exposure to certain petroleum products and chemicals, continuous treatment of radiotherapy, severe burns of the skin, etc..
Melanoma, a type of skin cancer
It is estimated that about 74,100 cases of skin cancer other than melanoma are listed in Canada alone. Melanoma is a special case of cancer of the skin or mucous membranes. In general it is in the form of brown spot or button. Like any cancer, melanoma can be treated by chemotherapy. However, it can also be treated by simple surgical removal. Finally, the systematic application of sunscreen is also recommended to prevent the disease.
