Solution

The correct options are
A

Ozone hole is aggravated due to modernisation and use of technology without environmental sustainability.


C

If ozone hole appears in tropical and temperate regions, it could cause a series of health problems.


Ozone hole is caused by increasing concentrations of ozone-depleting chemicals in the stratosphere that come from spray cans, refrigerants, air-conditioners (modern technology). These long-lived chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs (chemical compounds with chlorine and/or fluorine attached to carbon) remain in the atmosphere for decades to over a century depending on the CFC.

In the absence of ozone layer, there is a direct exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun which can cause a variety of health-related issues such as cancer, mutations, etc.
