Dermatological effect of UV rays owing to ozone layer depletion

In recent years, one of the major threat for the earth is the depletion of ozone layer that accelerates the incoming amount of various solar rays including the UV rays. It has an drastic effect on the health of different living organisms most prominently on the skin. There are several reasons for which ozone hole is being created and increased continuously. In recent days, an increasing awareness can be noticed and different countries are showing their concern on this issue. It is also one of the reasons for global warming and different climate changes that can indirectly. Besides various effects, one of the major threats caused by solar radiation is the skin cancers. In United Kingdom, higher temperature can be observed during the summer period along with some temperature events. This can cause serious issues that can be harmful for the total population. An ozone hole can be observed at the Antarctic region. A notable increase in UV-B has been reported in Punta Arenas, Chile which also known as the south most city. So, the rate of depletion of the ozone layer must be reduced. Moreover, skin related diseases should be detected early so that proper treatment can be given. In this work, effects of ozone hole are being studied on the skin.
