A less dramatic but still significant depletion of. ozone levels was recorded around the globe. With less. ozone in the atmosphere, more ultraviolet (UV) radia-. tion strikes Earth, causing more skin cancer, eye dam-. age, and possible harm to crops.
There are 1.0E-6 meter in a micrometer. 1 Micrometer is equal to 1.0E-6 Meter. 1 um = 1.0E-6 m. A micrometer, or micron, is a unit of length sometimes used in SI as a 1Ã10â6 of a meter. This is a quite specific measurement unit used in science (i.e. for measuring various types of wavelength, etc.) or in industrial technology.
The micrometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: Î¼m) or micrometer (American spelling), also commonly known as a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equaling 1 Ã 10 â6 metre (SI standard prefix micro- = 10 â6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch).
