It will take a long time. But if you stop CFC's, the disappearing will stop too.

How long will it take until the Ozone layer breaks down if people don't do anything about it?
See "When will the ozone layer be gone?"
What era was the ozone layer developed?
In the Precambrian time, 4.6 billion yrs. ago
What could be the long-range effect if the ozone layer were destroyed?
The ozone layer is impossible to be completely destroyed. The manufacture of CFC gases for industrial use has been banned. If it were destroyed, it would reform naturally in the absence of CFCs or other destructive agents. The absence of the ozone layer, even for a short period, would have a very severe health impact, as damaging ultraviolet rays could penetrate to the earth. There would also be a slight global cooling effect, as ozone is a greenhouse gas, but this would be masked by the upward temperature trend resulting from rising carbon dioxide levels. There is no conceivable method of destroying the ozone layer as long as we have the key ingredients to make ozone. As long as we have a sun and oxygen, the planet will continue to make ozone.
What layer is the ozone a part of?
You can find ozone in any layer of the atmosphere, but in the lower layers it does not last long. The so-called ozone layer is in the lower portion of the stratosphere, at a height where it takes a long time to dissociate.
In which layer of the atmosphere is ozone present?
The Ozone Layer, which is made up of Ozone molecules, or O3 molecules, occurs in the stratosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer up from the surface, above the troposphere, which we live in. (Sorry...long drawn out answer.) :)
What is the possible long-term consequencesf the depletion of ozone layer?
Ozone depletion could cause loss of mankind. It would lead to no life.

Why the ozone layer is important?
Without the ozone layer, the Earth and everything living would be exposed to harmful radiation, which could kill us if we were exposed for too long.

What are the long term effects on the ozone layer?
i dont kn
How long is it expected for the ozone layer to return to its former concentration?
Cfcs have a long atmospheric lifetime. because of this it will take many decades before the ozone layer returns to its former concentration.
Will you die if the ozone layer disappears?
Ozone will always be present as long as we have sunlight and oxygen in our atmosphere. In order for ozone to completely disappear, we would have to be missing one of these two vital ingredients. So, the answer has to be a yes. Without the building blocks for ozone, we would be a dead planet.
Why is burning garbage bad?
The chemicals in its smoke make a hole in the ozone layer. As long as there is a hole in the ozone layer, it becomes harder to fight global warming.
How long does ozone stay in the atmosphere?
Ozone is a very unstable molecule. The energy required of formation of ozone is much greater than the reverse process that is the formation of oxygen and nascent oxygen. However there is an ongoing process of formation as well as depletion in the ozone layer which makes its concentration in the ozone layer constant. However due to the CFC's the rate of depletion is increasing thus creating an ozone hole in the ozone layer.
