ozone layer depletion effects
Ozone layer depletion effects refer to the negative consequences arising from the thinning of the ozone layer, which results in increased ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. These effects include increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems in humans, as well as harmful impacts on ecosystems such as reduced crop yields, damage to marine life, and alteration of atmospheric and weather patterns.
