Major ozone problems occur where?

What is ozone depleetion?
The ozone depletion refers to the thinning of ozone layer due to a no. of factors which include the man made and the natural ones. The natural depletion does not contribute to the ozone hole as the rate of formation of ozone hole is in equilibrium with the depletion. However due to the use of the harmful chlorofluorocarbons by the human beings the rate of depletion of ozone is increasing considerably thus leaving the rate of formation far behind. This difference in the formation rate and depletion rate leads to ozone hole.
How does ozone depeletion occur?
Ozone depletion occurs by CFC's. they react with ozone to deplete it.
How is ozone hole formation?
See "How did the ozone hole occur?"

The ozone hole exists above Antarctica from August to November
If there is a drop in the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere Why does this drop occur?
It is because of the CFC's. They react with ozone and deplete it.
