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.
How big is a Micron? A micrometer, commonly known as micron is one millionth of a meter, one thousandth of a millimeter or one thousand nanometers. A strand of human hair is about 100 microns wide and a red blood cell is approx. 8 microns in diameter.The illustration below is 2,000 times larger than actual size.
