Researches and environmental studies have been telling that the Ultraviolet rays of sun are very harmful and cause deadly skin cancer. Generally the stratospheric Ozone layer acts as a shield between Sun and earth and blocks UV rays and helps the environment and people. But researches proves that, this Ozone layer has been depleting due to the heavy pollution. Since this layer is becoming weak day by day, the chances of UV rays reaching the earth increases day by day. This leads to the Skin cancer. Skin cancer is the fastest growing cancer than other cancers. So the death rate Is also High. Since the some part of the ozone layer is already damaged, nothing can be done. By gones be by gones. We must find steps in Saving the remaining part. Where there is a will there is way.We must protect ourselves from these harmful rays. The solution is in our hands only.

1.        We must take steps that make environment clean and green.

2.        Reasons for pollutions are obvious. So repairing the old vehicles that cause extra smoke, banning the vehicles that are more prone to pollution, running healthy factories,planting are must and should activities in preventing the ozone layer from further depleting.

3.        Use sunscreen lotions, umbrellas, fully covered clothes when you are going out. Because exposure to sun frequently increases the attack of skin cancer. Especially this effect is more in children. Studies have showed that those who suffered from sun burnt a lot, would suffer with skin cancer. So keep children away from sun.

4.        General awareness in people also helps in decreasing the skin cancer .By explaining the people about the skin cancer and the reasons for skin cancer, the importance of ozone layer and importance of non-polluted environment , we can also get good results.

Conclusion: Thicker Ozone layer Weakens the chances of Skin Cancer.
