Increased UV radiation due to stratospheric ozone depletion can lead to negative effects on human health, including an increased risk of skin cancer and cataracts. While UV radiation can stimulate photosynthesis in plants and increase vitamin D production in humans, these are not considered negative effects of increased UV radiation.
