1.The ozone layer protects us from the harmful UV RAYS of the sun by deflecting it back to space.
It gets degraded due to human activities that produce CFC gas(Chlorofluorocarbons) .The CFC is a light gas molecule that reaches the stratosphere to bind with OZONE and deplete it.
2.The ozone depletion means more UV RAYS exposed upon the environment which can lead to mutation and growth of new diseases and fatal deaths
