Most of us are
aware of the fact that there is an atmospheric layer over the Earth’s surface
that has the capacity to absorb all harmful electromagnetic radiation from the
sun. The development of a small hole in the Ozone layer has had a huge impact
on the Earth’s ecology. About 6 percent of the sun’s harmful radiation reaches
the Earth’s surface and is impacting life forms in more negative ways than we
can imagine.
Evolution and
innovation has been a way of nature since time immemorial. Man keeps experimenting
and creating stuff to combat or control natural forces. Latest technology
enables us to create eco-safe outdoor spaces that are radiation free. That
definitely is a giant intellectual leap!
Man has
formulated potions from chemicals to create what we generally refer to as UV
Inhibitors. These in actuality are ultra violet radiation absorbing substances.
People are designing, fabricating and installing sun shade sails for sun protection. Shade fabrics or materials used
for creating outdoor overhead sails generally come with UV inhibitor coating.
As Americans and people around the world become aware and more sensitive to the
problems of sun exposure, these tools will play a major role.
