Ozone depletion in the atmosphere causes increased UV radiation towards the Earth surface. Exposure to higher concentration of UV rays can lead to mutation resulting in skin cancer. It can also cause permanent damage to the eyes by destroying the retinal cells. UV rays have been found to cause mutational changes in the immune cells and reducing the immune system.

Liver cancer occurs due to abnormal growth of liver cells majorly due to excessive consumption of alcohol and drugs but not due to UV rays.
