Today, September 16, is the International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer.

The ozone layer of the atmosphere is a shield that traps the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Unfortunately, as a result of a natural imbalance on our planet, an ecological threat has arisen due to the depletion of the ozone layer.

On September 16, 1987, the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer was signed.

Since then, this date has been celebrated as the International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer.
