The separation between natural and anthropogenetic pollution

 
The "natural limit" of the ozone concentration can be obtained if the lifetimes of the ozone pollutants are in the range of 10-7 ÷ 10-8 s.
 
The biosphere stability
The filtering of the UV solar radiation, especially that of the UV-B domain (240 - 320 nm), is extremely important for biosphere, this radiation being the main source of mutant ADN.
Bouger-Lambert-Beer relation

ΔT < 0.01 The criterion of the sufficiency of the ozone layer stability
