(N/A) With the depletion of the ozone layer,more $UV$ radiation filters into the troposphere. $UV$ radiations lead to ageing of skin,cataract,sunburn,skin cancer,killing of many phytoplanktons,and damage to fish productivity.
Plant proteins get easily affected by $UV$ radiations,which leads to harmful mutations of cells. It also increases the evaporation of surface water through the stomata of the leaves and decreases the moisture content of the soil.
An increase in $UV$ radiations damages paints and fibres,causing them to fade faster.
