- The ozone layer present in the stratosphere filters out the UV radiations, reducing the intensity of these radiations reaching the Earth's surface.
- Due to the excessive use of CFC, there is a depletion of ozone in the stratosphere.
- The depletion of ozone allows the entry of the UV radiations which is a known mutagen.
- These radiations damage the DNA and cause skin cancer as skin is the majorly exposed surface of the body.
