Question

3) what are the possible consequences of increased industrial emissions on the layer of ozone in the atmosphere?

Answer 1

Ozone depletion would magnify all of the effects of UV on human health, both positive (including production of vitamin D) and negative (including sunburn, skin cancer, and cataracts). In addition, increased surface UV leads to increased tropospheric ozone, which is a health risk to humans.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative effects include increases in certain types of skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders. ... UV rays also affect plant growth, reducing agricultural productivity.
