The UV light from the sun damages the cell and as a person ages the cell gets weaker and causes skin cancer. Because of the thinness of the ozone layer more UV light is hitting the earth. The same UV light is used in tanning beds so those are also dangerous.

When you sunbathe, you are lying out for the sun's harmful UV rays to hit and tan your skin. This is dangerous because these UV rays can damage skin by burning it, having a higher cancer probability.

The ultra-violet rays of the sun are capable of burning your skin, and long-term exposure can increase your risk of developing skin cancer.

Why would a decrease in the density of the ozone layer cause public health problem?

The ozone layer protects us against deadly radiation from the sun (like Ultra Violet and Infrared). A little of this radiation isn't that dangerous (sunbathing). But when you get too much, you can get cancer (to much sunbathing can cause cancer too). A reduced density in the ozone layer could let through too much dangerous radiation, and thus forming a problem to the public health.
