The ozone layer is about 50,000 feet above the Earth's surface. This area filters out a great deal of our UV radiation. In the extremely unlikely event that this area would decay it would increase the UV-B radiation hitting the earth. The total ozone between the Sun and Earth's surface is equivalent to a layer of pure ozone gas about 3mm thick. UV-C and more energetic radiation is blocked by the large amounts of oxygen and nitrogen gas at the same altitude (and even higher).
