Question

Which one of the following is the primary effect of UV radiation caused due to depletion of ozone layer?

• A. Heart attack
• B. Skin cancer
• C. High fever
• D. All of these
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Skin cancer

The ozone layer prevents most harmful UV wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere. These wavelengths cause skin cancer, sunburn and cataracts, which were projected to increase dramatically as a result of thinning ozone, as well as harming plants and animals.
