We find studies that indicate the impact of human activity on ozone layer depletion and skin cancer rates. We used databases such as NASA, WHO, and previous peer-cited studies with significant evidence.

This is a very important topic so I’m glad it was chosen. Since depletion of the ozone layer allows more UV rays to penetrate earth’s surface , an increase of skin cancer is a horrible fate for all. And of course, no amounts of sunscreen can save us then. The usage of data visualizations was extremely helpful because it allows viewers such as myself, to truly witness the bleakness of this issue. I personally have heard a lot about the ozone layer becoming more weak on various social media platforms and articles along with negative climate change effects on the population. Something as grave as this can’t be swept under the rug so this poster is an efficient way to shine some extra light (no pun intended ) on the subject.

The visual elements were well selected. The representation of the ozone layer depletion is alarming, as it appears that a lot has changed over the past decade. While many have cited the lack of sun exposure due to pandemic lockdowns, I find this research intriguing given that it counters that concern with one that is more grave. I wonder if there is a leading source of ozone layer depletion. Since refrigerants, like those in old air conditioners, deplete the ozone layer, I wonder what could be the cause for such a rapid depletion of the ozone layer over the course of a decade.
