An unusually large Ozone hole has developed over the Canadian Arctic.
Ozone depletion consists of two related events observed since the late 1970s: a steady lowering of about four percent in the total amount of ozone in Earth's atmosphere, and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone around Earth's polar regions.
Under a hole in the Ozone layer, harmful rays enter our planet.
UV radiation is well-known to cause skin cancer in humans if one is frequently exposed.
