What are the causes of depletion of ozone layer? Which diseases are likely to be caused if the ozone layer will become thinner?

chlorofluorocarbons and certain ozone depleting substances are responsible for depletion of ozone layer. If the ozone layer becomes thinner, ultraviolet radiations will penetrate through the layer and reach the surface of earth which when fall on humans will destroy the genetic material of skin cells thus causing their unlimited growth and thus resulting in skin cancer.
