UV-B Radiation

A portion of the ultraviolet spectrum with wavelengths from 280 to 315 nanometers, known for its biological effects, including DNA damage and vitamin D synthesis in skin.

Acid Rain

Precipitation with a pH lower than normal, resulting from atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm.
