This has been answered under other categories: # Water vapor both blocks one path of ozone formation, and provides a faster decay path for ozone. Water vapor arrives in the "ozone layer" from both natural and Man-caused sources. # CFCs have been shown to catalytically destroy ozone, and stick around long enough to do it again and again. CFCs are entirely Man-caused. Other catalysts may source from volcanos, etc.
