It is unlikely. The "hole" is not a hole at all. It is a thinning of the ozone layer (near each pole) that occurs annually during each poles winter. These are primarily caused by a lack of sun. The rest of this thinning is caused by solar activity, such as solar flares.
The worst thinning of this layer occurred in 1858, which is also the year that recorded the worst solar activity. Even if we had massive solar flares, that did stripe the planet of all ozone in this layer, we would see the immediate rebuilding of this layer.
Ozone is created by oxygen's contact with sunlight. This is why we only see this thinning during each poles winter and only in areas that see no sunlight for weeks at a time. No thinning is recorded at or near the equator.

How do frogs indicate a problem with the ozone layer?
The frog populations have gone down because of the increase in UV rays from that the thinning ozone layer can not keep out. LESS FROGS = PATCHY OZONE LAYER
What are effect of ozone layer on man and environment?
Ozone layer has pretty good effects on man and environment. It protects us from the ever harming UV's.
Give the effect of damage of ozone layer?
Well right now the Ozone layer is getting holes in it. And the Ozone layer is the only thing protecting us on earth. Its protecting us from the sun's rays. Without the Ozone layer when it is gone we will all die from the sun's rays.
