Abstract: Troposphere Ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful radiations reach to the surface of the earth, strongly influencing the crops yield and vegetation. These radiations are major cause of skin cancer that has long exposure to UV radiation. United States Environmental Protection Agency and European Community have imposed strict regulations to curb the emission of ODS and phase out schedules for the manufacture and use of ODS that was specified by Montreal Protocol in 1987. This research program deals with data analysis of ozone layer thickness and measured ultra-violet radiation that have been obtained at an altitude of 8 km from Abu Dhabi Monitorin!
g station. The ozone layer thickness in stratosphere has been correlated with measured ultraviolet radiation above the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The influence of import of ozone depletion substances for the last decade and other factors that strongly affect the ozone layer thickness in stratosphere were discussed in the final report submitted to public. The dependency of ozone layer thickness on ambient pollutant levels is discussed in detail.
