The potentially harmful effects associated with stratospheric ozone depletion are widely acknowledged. As the ozone layer principally absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation of wavelengths below 290 nm, reductions in stratospheric ozone levels are likely to result in increased UVB at the earth's surface, with the risk of increased incidence of skin cancer. Measuring the sun's spectrum at ground level requires sophisticated and reliable spectral instruments. Results are reported for this for the first time in the U.K. using spectral instruments, showing a significant increase in short wavelength UV radiation at a time of depleted stratospheric ozone. If this trend increases, future ozone depletion could contribute to known risks for cutaneous malignancies of all types.
平流层臭氧消耗所带来的潜在有害影响已得到广泛认可。由于臭氧层主要吸收波长低于290纳米的紫外线（UV）辐射，平流层臭氧水平的降低很可能导致地球表面紫外线B（UVB）增加，进而增加皮肤癌发病率的风险。在地面测量太阳光谱需要精密且可靠的光谱仪器。英国首次使用光谱仪器报告了相关结果，显示在平流层臭氧消耗时短波长紫外线辐射显著增加。如果这种趋势加剧，未来的臭氧消耗可能会导致各类皮肤恶性肿瘤的已知风险增加。
