In, moderation, uv light is a benefactor that helps synthesize certain vitamins. However, the level of uv humans have adapted to use is being surpassed because of ozone depletion, which lets more highly radioactive light into our atmosphere. This, coupled with excessive outdoor activity (not like a few hours, but something like most of the day) may cause cancer and other ailments.

Does Oxygen molecules stop UV radiation or is it only Ozone molecules that can?
UV is commonly broken up into three rough groupings called UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Oxygen and nitrogen absorb UV-C and break apart. Some of the oxygen forms ozone. Ozone absorbs UV-C and some UV-B and breaks apart. Ozone also absorbs UV-B and reradiates it randomly. UV-A (the sutff good for tanning) is pretty much just passed thru to the surface of the Earth. So some UV is blocked by oxygen (UV-C), just not any of UV-B, which directly strikes our DNA since we are largely transparent to UV-B and DNA is not.
