Such tropospheric ozone can damage plastic, rubber, plant and animal tissue. ... Scientist have found that overexposure to the sun can alter the function and distribution of white blood cells (disease- fighting cells) in humans, resulting in a weaker immune system to fight diseases and a worldwide increase in sickness. Ultraviolet radiation also attacks DNA in individual cells, this process destroys the basic building blocks of life. The depletion of the ozone layer will just as dramatically effect plants as much as it would the humans. In plants and trees the increase in ultraviolet radiation...
