Ozone layer formation was a natural process in which oxygen was converted to ozone by UV radiations. It is located about 20 to 30 kilometres (12 to 19 mi) above Earth, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically.

∙ 12y agoThe industrial use of freon gases, or CFCs, led to an alarming reduction in the world's ozone layer, most notable over Antarctica, where it became nonexistent during the winter months, hence the description of a 'hole' in the ozone layer. The effect was so apparent, so rapid and so dramatic, that the world's governments took action in the late 1980s to ban the production of these gases, except for restricted medical use. The hole in Antarctica's ozone layer has improved very noticeably but will take quite a few more years to disappear entirely.

When was the first hole in the ozone layer found?
The ozone layer was postulated in 1880 by Hartley (the Hartley absorption bands), and expected to be above the troposphere. In 1921 Dobson and Lindeman noted the temperature rise at the bottom of the stratosphere, and surmised it was caused by UV absorption by ozone there. In 1919 and 1920, Fabry and Buisson designed a spectrograph and made the first total column ozone measurements (and they were correct as to how much ozone was present).
