which of the following is not a health risk associated with a depleted ozone layer? a. respiratory illness b. skin cancer c. cataracts d. all of the above

Verified Answer :

Respiratory illness is not a risk associated with a depleted ozone layer.

Ozone is a layer made up of three atoms of oxygen. Depletion of ozone is due to an increase in greenhouse gases and increased global warming.

Extensive use of CFCs, smoke from vehicles and factories are the reason because of which the ozone layer is depleting.

The correct answer is:

Option A. respiratory illness

The explanation for this is:

  • The harmful rays from the sun cause skin cancer due to the presence of ultraviolet rays.

  • The UV rays affect the cornea of the eyes causing cataracts.

  • Respiratory diseases are not directly caused due to ozone depletion.

Therefore, respiratory illness is not caused by ozone depletion.
