The annual "hole" in the ozone layer we see at the poles during the end of the winter months is due to a lack of sunlight reacting with the available oxygen. Once the sunlight returns the hole quickly disappears and the ozone levels in teh upper atmosphere return to normal.

How long is it expected for the ozone layer to return to its former concentration?

Cfcs have a long atmospheric lifetime. because of this it will take many decades before the ozone layer returns to its former concentration.


How was the hole in the ozone layer fixed?

The hole in the ozone layer was addressed through the implementation of an international agreement known as the Montreal Protocol in 1987. This treaty aimed to phase out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were identified as the primary cause of ozone depletion. As a result of the Montreal Protocol, the ozone layer has shown signs of recovery, although it will take time for it to fully heal.


How long would take FOR THE OZOne layer to diseper?

It will take a long time. But if you stop CFC's, the disappearing will stop too.


Why people take the ozone layer seriously?

How does ozone layer depletion take place?

Ozone layer depletion takes place on PSC's. These are frozen clouds.


Does the ozone heal itself?

The ozone layer is constantly being renewed by available oxygen, and UV-C from our Sun. UV-C and UV-B from the Sun also destroy ozone, but so do contaminants (and time). So "repairing itself" involves getting rid of contaminants. Some contaminants take decades to eventually leave the vicinity of the ozone layer, and nothing we can do will accelerate that process (and leave the ozone layer intact). So all we can do is wait, and stop adding old (or new) contaminants to the air.


How can you save the ozone layer?

To save the ozone layer we must take the following steps:Plant more treesReduce the use of CFC's.

How is the ozone layer chanchaging?

Ozone is changing. It is because of various factors which take place in the environment.


Most human activites take place in what part of the ozone layer?

Most human activities in the ozone layer take place on their way through it, to or from space. We are testing yet more aircraft that will rip through it and spew more water vapor into the ozone layer from above, but we are not there yet. Most of what we do to the ozone layer drifts up from the ground, and our furious toings and froings.
