The ozone layer acts as a filter that stops certain harmful frequency's of light from making it to the surface of the earth. The thinning or removal of this layer of ozone means that the skin becomes exposed to harmful solar radiation and this can lead to cancer on the skin. This cancer can then spread to other parts of the body and cause death.
