Is there really a hole in the ozone layer?

Question

is there really a hole in the ozone layer and if so will it kill us will it just eat the whole thing?

Answer 1

There is a large hole in the ozone layer that seasonally fluctuates, at times it is large and at other times smaller. It only impacts people and plants at the extreme southern portion of the world. It isn't going to kill you! The excess ultraviolet radiation may increase your chances of skin cancer but so does laying under tanning beds excessively. So far within the contiguous United States, we have nothing to fear.

Answer 2

Technically there is no "hole" in the ozone layer. There is, however a massive thinning of the ozone layer towards to poles. The areas is still partially protected by ozone, but not nearly as much as the mid and lower latitudes. In fact, the ozone layer is naturally thinner at the poles, we were just making it worse by releasing chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which react with ozone and make it less available to filter out the sun's radiation. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Yes, Andrew is correct.  It is the CFC's that react with ozone (O3) and make it turn into diatomic oxygen (O2).

Answer 5

There are actually several holes in the ozone layer that come and go with some regularity. No, we are not all going to be burned to crispy critters like in the movie The Core.
