The risk of melanoma associated with ambient summer ultraviolet radiation / by Lauren Pinault, Tracey Bushnik, Vitali Fioletov, Cheryl E. Peters, Will D. King and Michael Tjepkema.CS82-003/2017-5-1E-PDF

"Depletion of the ozone layer has meant that ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has increased in recent decades. At the same time, the incidence of skin cancers, including melanoma, has risen. The relatively few large-scale studies that linked ambient UVR to melanoma found a trend toward rising incidence closer to the equator, where UVR estimates are highest. Similar research has not been conducted in Canada, where ambient UVR is generally lower than in countries further south"--Abstract, page 3.
