Answer:

The health problem associated with UV exposure that is also linked to the thinning of Earth's ozone layer is skin cancer. The ozone layer helps to block harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, and its depletion allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface, increasing the risk of skin cancer and other UV-related health issues.
