What would happen if the ozone layer disappeared?

The three types of ultraviolet radiation from the sun—UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C—will enter the atmosphere if the ozone layer is destroyed. UV-A may even be helpful to humans.

The function of ozone is to shield living things from overexposure to UV radiation, which can disrupt DNA and cell division processes in humans and animals, resulting in mutations, skin cancer, cataracts in the eyes, and weakened immune systems.

Because it can destroy plankton in oceans, which is the foundation of the marine food chain, it can also have an impact on the marine food chain's predators.

Additionally, it can have an impact on bacterial processes like cyanobacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen to nitrates in soil for crops. This means that for crops like corn and rice, the lack of food supply it brings will have a significant negative impact on human health.

Polymers like pure PVC (polychloride), which degrades in UV light, can also be impacted by UV radiation.

If the ozone layer disappeared, there would be an increase in the levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. This would lead to various consequences such as increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts, and other health problems in humans. Additionally, UV radiation can also harm marine life, damage crops, and affect the overall ecosystem balance.
