# HEALT-10: UV rays become even stronger and are at a greater risk of causing more skin cancer and eye problems.
Going in, this just seems to make sense and not much of a prediction at all.
In finding a link or two, this pdf states (
http://www.biospherical.com/NSF/.\presentations\poster_Korea2.pdf) "Moreover, the 1998 measurements at McMurdo station [Antarctica] have also shown the highest UV levels since monitoring began in 1988." It also states "the ozone hole may have a direct impact on locations far away from Antarctica." I tried to find something about UV light in the US but couldn't; "far away from Antarctica" may or may not mean the US.
But interestingly the World Health Organization's faq on UV light (
http://www.who.int/uv/faq/whatisuv/en/index1.html) has this to say: "The incidence of different types of skin cancer has been growing dramatically over the past decades. Some people claim that this is due to ozone depletion and enhanced levels of UV. However, most evidence now suggests that the major cause for the increased cancer rates is altered behaviour rather than ozone depletion."
Conclusion: "UV rays become even stronger" is right for Antarctica, the prediction may also be right if we (perhaps generously) extend it to the United States. But, I'm still not sure what kind of prediction it is. Even at the time, the ozone was known to be in danger. The late 80s saw the signing of the Montreal Protocol (to reduce the use of CFCs) and it was revised throughout the 90s.
The meat of the prediction, however, that it is "causing more skin cancer and eye problems" even though it would also seem common sense, is curiously wrong.
# HEALT-11: Hair loss among males and females is also at an all-time high because of the ozone layer breaking down.
I couldn't find any reports that tracked the number of cases of hair loss. As my search went on, I couldn't help but wonder how absurd it seemed anyway. If anything, there could be more bald folks because people are living longer and all that.
In any event, I couldn't find anything that corelated hair loss to UV radiation (apart from a rare inherited disease, trichothiodystrophy
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=00006C17-E41D-1C5A-B882809EC588ED9F&sc=I100322). In fact, although not sourced, this site claims "Ultraviolet radiation can also aid in the treatment of chronic skin diseases, such as psoriasis and alopecia areata and resulting hair loss." This is mentioned with respect to UV radiation helping the body producing Vitamin D.

Beyond that (or perhaps related to), I found several mentions of a treatment to stimulate hair growth and/or prevent hair loss with infrared and UV light. (Here is one:

Conclusion: I'd call the first bit about it being at an "all-time high" unverifiable, or just common sense, and that the cause is the ozone is wrong, even if there were an increase.
