Focal intestinal metaplasia is the potentially reversible change from a fully differentiated stomach cell type to an intestinal cell type. It is associated with significantly increased risk of cancer. . Proper diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of gastric cancer. slide 1 of 6.
The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of a compound is a simple measure of. its ability to destroy stratospheric ozone. It is a relative measure: the ODP of CFC-11 is defined to be 1.0, and the ODP's of other compounds. are calculated with respect to this reference point. Thus a compound with.
SAVING THE OZONE: Part three in our series exploring on the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer â dubbed âthe worldâs most successful environmental agreementâ â explains why we need an ozone layer. The ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun, protecting life on Earth from its potentially harmful effects. When the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar UVR measured at the Earthâs surface.
