There would be more sunburns. Unprotected plants and animals would probably be harmed or even killed over time, but people could take measures to protect themselves, like wearing sunglasses and sun screen and clothing.

The ozone absorbs much of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Witout it we would get a great deal more skin cancer. Predicting exactly how much more cancer we would get is difficult because as humans we have the ability to adapt. There is clothing that can stop UV radiation, and creams, these would serve to protect use. I am sure we would come up with other solutions also, we are inventive if not necessarily wise. The first generation would have the worst time - and the first cases would probably be quick to come, but it would take a few years to notice a significant increase in the cancer rate.

"Both ozone depletion mechanisms strengthened as emissions of CFCs and halons increased.

CFCs, halons and other contributory substances are commonly referred to as ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Since the ozone layer prevents most harmful UVB wavelengths (270–315 nm) of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere, observed and projected decreases in ozone have generated worldwide concern leading to adoption of the Montreal Protocol banning the production of CFCs and halons as well as related ozone depleting chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethane (also known as methyl chloroform). It is suspected that a variety of biological consequences such as increases in skin cancer, damage to plants, and reduction of plankton populations in the ocean's photic zone may result from the increased UV exposure due to ozone depletion."
