What is "extreme solar particle event"? How may it damage Earth's ozone layer?

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

solar particle event" might have a catastrophic effect on Earth, according to scientists. Experts predict that these occurrences, which happen around every thousand years, could happen shortly. The ejection of protons into space by the sun is known as solar particle events or solar storms. If these particles get to Earth, they have the potential to do serious damage, as per the reports of Daily Star.

Damage to the ozone layer

Damage to the ozone layer on Earth would be among the worst effects of such an occurrence. Our earth is protected from dangerous ultraviolet (UV) radiation by this layer. If it's disrupted, Earth's UV radiation levels might rise.

Potential impact on human health

Scientists Alan Cooper of Charles Sturt University and Pavle Arsenovic of the University of Natural Resources and Life Science (BOKU) outlined the hazards in a recent publication. According to their findings, there is a significant risk to human safety since solar particle events have the potential to initiate chemical reactions that could compromise the ozone layer. Skin cancer risk and other DNA damage could rise in the absence of adequate ozone shielding from damaging UV radiation.

Long-Term Effects

The scientists observed that UV levels might climb for approximately a year in the event of an intense solar particle outburst, which would damage DNA. If such an incident took place during a time when Earth's
