The ozone layer is important because it stops harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun from reaching the Earth. If the rays are allowed through through the atmosphere, they can cause severe health problems like skin cancer. Chemicals called CFCs have made a hole in the ozone layer above the North and South Poles.
The pollution of the atmophere by factories and vehicles is creating a dangerous hole in the protective ozone layer above the Earth and increasing the Earth’s temperature. It makes people fall sick more often.

For over 20 years, Scientist have noticed an expanding hole in the ozone layer above each of the poles. This is due to the increasing use of chemicals that go into our refrigerators and aerosol cans. The hole means we have less protection from the ultraviolet rays of the Sun. these harmful rays can cause skin cancer.
