Solution

The depletion of the ozone layer allows harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun to reach the Earth's surface. This can lead to:

  • Increased skin cancer and eye problems like cataracts in humans.

  • Harm to plants and marine life, especially plankton.

  • Disruption of ecosystems and food chains.

Thus, ozone depletion poses serious health and environmental risks.
