９２、It is known that in recent years, industrial pollution has caused the Earths ozone1 layer to thin, allowing an increase in the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earths surface. At the same time, scientists have discovered, the population of a species of salamander that lays its eggs in mountain lakes has declined. Since ultraviolet radiation is known to be damaging to delicate tissues and since salamander eggs have no protective shells, it must be the case that the increase in ultraviolet radiation has damaged many salamander eggs and prevented them from hatching. This process will no doubt cause population declines in other species, just as it has in the salamander species.
