Solution
Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health.
Negative effects include increases in certain types of skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders.
UV radiation also affects terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, altering growth, food chains and biochemical cycles.
Aquatic life just below the water’s surface, the basis of the food chain, is particularly adversely affected by high UV levels. .
