From an epidemiological standpoint, the focus is on understanding the link between CFCs, [ozone depletion](#), and the resultant health effects on populations. Epidemiologists study patterns, causes, and effects in health and disease conditions in defined populations. In the context of CFCs, epidemiologists might investigate:
- The incidence and prevalence of skin cancers and eye diseases in relation to UV radiation exposure. - Trends in disease rates over time and their correlation with historical CFC emissions and ozone depletion. - Populations that are particularly vulnerable to increased UV exposure, such as those living in high-altitude areas or regions with significant [ozone holes](#).
