Ozone depletion directly affects society and the environment through increased exposure to UV rays on humans, animals, plants and materials. Increased exposure to UV rays can have serious harmful side effects in humans: Skin cancer UV -B radiation can cause benign and malignant skin melanomas. A reduction in ozone levels increases the amount of UV-B radiation that can reach the earth's surface, which would lead to an increase in the occurrence of skin cancers, sunburns and premature aging of the skin. skin.
