gas rapidly declined the ozone quantity in the atmosphere that leads to many problems. People’s odds getting skin cancer was the big issue. Because of less atmospheric ozone‚ more UV light was reaching people’s skin that causes skin cells to be damaged. That requires more cell reproduction which gives more room for the cell’s DNA to mutate into cancer. Another issue is less heat and radiation is bounced of by the ozone‚ which can lead to hotter temperatures throughout the planet. Later in 1978‚ the
