The Sun sends out UV-C radiation, and oxygen and nitrogen stop this. These molecules shatter upon absorption. Some of the oxygen atoms end up making ozone. The equilibrium value of ozone is based on creation by UV-C from the Sun, destruction by absorbing UV-B from the Sun (it is the only gas in our atmosphere that does this), and destruction by contaminants. As contaminants go up, more UV-B makes it through to the surface of the Earth... where it can damage DNA directly (it will pass through our skin, just as it will through plant structures to get to its DNA). So if the contaminants can be reduced (from whatever source), the ozone layer can repair itself. See the link below for what these contaminants are:

Can the hole of the Ozone Layer be repaired?

The ozone hole can be repaired by curbing the use of CFCs. If there are no man made ozone destroying substances, the ozone layer will replenish itself.


Has ozone layer hole been repaired?

The ozone layer hole over Antarctica has shown signs of improvement since the 1980s, thanks to international efforts to reduce the use of ozone-depleting substances. However, it is not completely repaired yet and continues to be monitored closely. Continued global cooperation and adherence to environmental agreements are essential for further healing of the ozone layer.


How can the Ozone depletion be stopped and the damage repaired?

the hole in ozone is basically due to the chloroflourocarbon or CFC. therefore its use should be stopped.


How can the ozone hole above Antarctica repair?

Yes, it can be repaired. It is possible if we curb the use of ODS i.e. ozone depleting substances.


What is the name of the hole in the ozone?

The name of the hole is ozone hole. It is the thinning of ozone layer.


Each time a space ship is launched doesn't it leave a hole in the ozone layer?

Yes. And the hole mixes with ozone from adjacent areas within minutes, and all the damage is repaired within hours to days by UV-C from the Sun.
