The ozone in the ozone layer is being broken down by chlorine atoms from chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) molecules and bromine atoms from halons. Degradation of CFC leaves a free chlorine atom. The basic cause of ozone layer depletion is that this chlorine atom then breaks up ozone molecules. Effects of ozone layer depletion are as follows : Ozone depletion is affecting the human health and environment negatively, as it allows the penetration of UV radiations to reach the Earth. These radiations can cause severe diseases in humans such as Melanoma type of skin cancer, breast cancer and leukaemia, eye damage and genetic mutations etc.Furthermore, the ozone depletion is affecting the aquatic life, biogeochemical cycles, air quality and also contributing in Global warming, but in this review paper our main focus is on the effects of ozone depletion on human health .

Hello Bwalya
Ozone depletion is a huge issue of global concern. Stratosphere is very important part of the atmosphere but the pollution we have been creating. We must reduce the pollution and protect our ozone layer.
Thanks for your report.
Keep writing great reports.
Green Cheers from Nepal

Hey there Bwalya!
I have noticed how o-zone depletion has been affecting so many Cycles within the closed space Earth.
I am very eager to see the work you have planned by linking o-zone depletion to human health!
Thank you for reporting B!
Stay blessed
