Hello Mate,
✓✓Here is your answer÷
Ozone depletion occurs when chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons—gases formerly found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerants—are released into the atmosphere (see details below). ... CFCs and halonscause chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules, reducing ozone's ultraviolet radiation-absorbing capacity.

Ozone depletion is a major environmental problem because it increases the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches Earth's surface, which increases the rate of skin cancer, eye cataracts, and genetic and immune system damage.

Hope this helps you

ozone layer depletion occurs due chlorofluorocarbons and halons- gases
they cause chemical reactions that break the ozone molecules and reducing their capacity of absorbing ultraviolet rays.
