It is taking place in stratosphere. It is harmful for life on earth.
This is a thinning (by about 2/3, of the ozone over the Antarctic during the spring time, towards the end of the long winter night in the south pole. There is no actual hole in the layer. This has occurred for centuries, in fact the thinnest we know the layer has ever been is in 1858, before man started using cfc's. A similar thinning occurs, to a much smaller extent in the Arctic during the end of it's winter night also. The thinning is much smaller in the Arctic and NASA even reffers to this thin area as the "Dimple" due to the small size.
See "What is the depletion of the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
The lowest ozone concentration (the "hole") occurs where there is little / no UV-C to make ozone. If there is no UV-C, there is no UV-B for ozone to protect us from. The thinning of the ozone layer near the tropics is the problem, not the hole. Ozone decays rapidly, so the ozone layer would have to be bombed *a lot*. Which will require more fossil fuels be consumed to loft the ozone, which will place more humidity at the level of the ozone layer, which will in turn destroy more ozone. SO as one responder said: No, dude.
The ozone takes place in atmosphere in nature. The atmosphere has the maximum ozone.
Ozone depletion takes place in the stratosphere. It is mainly due to CFC's.
In the ozone layer. Where the ozone is.

Ozone depletion is occurring in the upper atmosphere.

Ozone levels do vary place to place. Equator has the maximum amount of ozone.

Winds and diffusion.
Most effective place for ozone is equator. And for ozone hole is poles.
Ozone depletion takes place in the stratosphere. It is mainly due to CFC's.
The effect of ozone layer is same overall. The ozone depletion over one place will affect the UV in that area.
In the ozone layer, ozone relensihes. It is replenished by UV rays.
