Mostly over Antarctica, and to a lesser extent over the North Pole.
Thanks to worldwide agreement and compliance with the 1987 UN Montreal Protocol (which agreed to phase out ozone depleting chemicals) global ozone depletion is no longer increasing. The Montreal Protocol is the most (some would say only) successful international agreement and scientists hope the ozone layer will have completely recovered by 2060.

What is causing the ozone layer to get smaller?
Chloroflorocarbons (CFCs) did. From what i've heard the ozone layer is starting to slowly heal up again. According to a report (2011) by the Scientific Assessment Panel of the U.N. Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the ozone layer has, over the last decade, reached a turnaround point. It is no longer decreasing, but it is not yet increasing.
Is the atmosphere ozone increasing?
Ozone in the ozone layer appears to be decreasing long term, with significant variations annually, every ~11 years, and even every ~121 years. See link below.
Why is the ozone layer called layer?
Ozone concentration increases with decreasing altitude to a maximum value, then drops of to near zero at the Earth's surface. The region of high concentration is called a layer, because it covers the entire Earth, and is confined to a few kilometers in height / thickness.
Why is the ozone layer named the ozone layer?
Ozone layer contains ozone in it. Therefore, it is named so.
How has human pollution impacted the ozone layer?
Some gaseous products of human activity can reduce the about of ozone in the upper atmosphere, thus decreasing the effectiveness of the ozone layer in shielding the surface of the planet from ultraviolet radiation.
What is the name for the ozone layer in Tagalog?
