Public health authorities predict that the subsequent increase in the amount of ultraviolet light reaching the earth would raise by about 200 the number of Americans afflicted annually by malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer that now strikes an estimated 8,400 and kills some 2,700 each year. The ozone loss would...
