Ozone molecules can be restored if creation is greater than destruction. This destruction is caused by the CFC's.

How do you increase the ozone layer by spreading co2?

Carbon dioxide, CO2, has very little to do with the ozone layer. The ozone layer will repair itself if we stop damaging it, which we have, by banning CFCs, chlorofluorocarbon gases, the chlorine of which was destroying the ozone molecules. Scientists hope the ozone layer will be completely restored by 2060.


When will the ozone layer be restored?

Scientists hope the ozone layer will have completely recovered by 2060. 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.


Is the ozone layer breaking up because temperatures are increasing?

No, the ozone layer has been breaking up because of man made gases (CFCs) in the atmosphere. The chlorine in those gases attacks and destroys ozone. These gases, which can stay in the atmosphere for up to 75 years, are no longer emitted. Scientists hope that the ozone layer will be restored by 2060.


Why is chlorofluocarbon a harmful gas?

Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is a harmful gas because it destroys the ozone layer. It has largely been phased out now, but it remains in the atmosphere for many years and is very destructive. It takes almost seven years for it to rise and move up to the ozone layer where it releases chlorine. This chlorine destroys ozone and keeps reforming and destroying more. Scientists hope the ozone layer will be restored by 2060.


What is the concern if the ozone layer continues to get bigger?

The ozone hole forms in an area that is receiving no UV-C from the Sun to make new ozone. If that area is receiving no UV-C, then it is receiving no UV-B either. So the effect on Earth's surface life due to a larger "ozone hole" is negligible. What makes the ozone larger is global ozone depletion, and that does have important consequence. See the question below.


Is the ozone hole repairable?

No, the ozone hole is not permanent, but does reappear every year. The hole over each pole is only there for a short time each year, during that pole's winter. Lack of sunlight is the cause of this hole.


What is the impact of aerosol sprays on the atmosphere?

Aerosol sprays used to be powered by CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), which were destroying the ozone layer. Thanks to the Montreal Agreement, the whole world agreed to stop making CFCs and the ozone layer is now slowly recovering. Scientists hope it will be fully restored by around 2050.


How is the ozone layer changing?

Yes. After the Montreal Protocol, countries gradually phased out the production of CFCs. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that were used in refrigerators and aerosols were the main destroyers of the ozone layer. The ozone layer is now no longer depleting. Scientists hope that it will have completely restored itself by 2060.


How is ozone in the stratosphere the same as the troposphere?

No. The ozone is stratosphere is good ozone. The ozone in troposphere is bad ozone.


What cause troposphereic ozone?

The tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.

What is the difference between stratospheric ozone and photochemical ozone?

Stratosphere ozone is good ozone. Photo chemical ozone is pollutant.
