The concentration of ozone in the "ozone layer" varies naturally over some range, based on season and other factors that do not involve the presence of Man. Add in Man's contributing factors, and the concentration of ozone at any point in the "ozone layer" is depressed... allowing more "UV-B" to reach Earth's surface. These factors in the ozone layer can include (in no particular order) reduction in available oxygen, increase in temperature, increase in moisture / humidity, addition of molecules / particulates that will destroy ozone, or molecules / particulates that compete with oxygen molecules for UV more energetic than 215nm .
