Final answer:

The emission of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere can result in stratospheric ozone depletion, increased UV radiation exposure, and a higher risk of skin cancer.


Explanation:

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), when emitted into the atmosphere, lead to stratospheric ozone depletion, which in turn increases UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, consequently raising the risk of skin cancer. Additionally, CFCs contribute to the greenhouse effect in the lower atmosphere, further exacerbating environmental impacts.
