As to why we boomers were the first to metastasize in a big way, Dr. Rigel rounded up the usual suspects: increased wealth and leisure; the explosion in air travel, allowing more vacations in sunny Florida, California and Arizona and at ski resorts; a thinning ozone layer; and a longer life span that gives us the opportunity to die of more things.
A thinning ozone layer may ultimately send maverick DNA segments called transposons jumping throughout the genome of corn plants, according to a report in today's Nature.
What does a thinner ozone layer really mean?
International action was taken within just two years of the discovery of the patch of thinning ozone in 1985 to put an end to the release of chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs — an organic compound that was used in refrigerants and aerosols and is the main culprit in ozone depletion.
Attributing this to the thinning ozone cover at the pole, she said that one day she put cream and zinc oxide only on her face, but neglected her neck and regretted it.
At first, the thinning ozone layer and ozone holes have been mainly associated with polar regions [2], yet this has been observed in the northern hemisphere too [3 5].

A thinning of the ozone layer over the United States during summers could mean an increase in ultraviolet exposure for millions of people and a rise in the incidence of skin cancer, the researchers said.
A provocative report in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, from a thinning of the ozone layer caused by synthetic chlorofluorocarbons, may damage the DNA of fish.
Scientists have linked warmer air over the Antarctic Peninsula to climate change and to a thinning of the ozone hole that shields life from cancer-causing solar rays, driven by man-made chemicals.
