The life of our planet depends on this 3 mm layer of a very reactive gos. Without this layer life on our planet would die off. That is why radicals are able to scare people into actions that may or may not help and scientifically questionable issue. We know the hole is not a hole, but a thin area that occurs naturally. What scientists are questioning is whether or not a small portion of the thinning may not be natural but induced by some very reactive gases that man has added into our atmosphere.
An honest answer is that we do not know. What we do know is it is a needed layer and that this thinning has occurred for generations.

More detailEarth's surface receives more UltraViolet-B, as ozone is the only gas currently in our atmosphere that absorbs UltraViolet-B. UltraViolet-B is also absorbed by soil, meters depth of water, and directly by the DNA of all surface life. DNA absorbing UltraViolet-B ends up increasing rates of cancer, mutation, and decreases crop yields. UltraViolet-B also causes cataracts to form in eye structures in animals (including Man).

What are consequences of ozone depletion and reformed measures to combat this process?
Ozone depletion causes UV to enter the earth. To stop it, CFC's have been banned.
Children's Antarctica -consequences of ozone layer depletion?
Antarctica has seen the ozone hole. It is because of the cool weather there.

What are consequences of depletion of forests?
Forests are the source of oxygen. Without oxygen there would be no ozone.
What are the consequences of the ozone being depleated?
The ozone depletion could cause skin cancer. It could also cause eye cataract.
How does the depletion of the ozone layer affect humans and what r some consequences?
Depletion of ozone layer causes various problems. It can cause the UV rays to enter the earth which are fatal for life on earth.
What are long term consequences of ozone depletion?
There are many long term consequences. Global warming, floods etc are some of the examples.
