Can the ozone layer recuperate again??And How Long??

CFCs aren't manufactured anymore, but tonnes of it still floats around in the atmosphere.  Since the CFCs causes chain reactions between ozone molecules.. even a lingering amount of CFCs will keep breaking down Ozone in the stratosphere.  Also, CFCs are still present in older models of refrigerators...and most likely people will not go through the hassle of extracting the CFCs before taking it to the dump.

please repeat that question ???

Dont listen to teh idiot above, how could cutting down trees help improve the ozone layer???\n\nThe answer is A because trees convert CO2 to O2, the more trees you cut down the less trees you have to make 02 from CO2 so there will be an increase in CO2

As the ozone layer is depleted, the protective filter activity of the atmosphere is reduced and more UV radiation, in particular the more harmful UVB, reaches the Earth's surface. In the year 2000, the ozone hole over the Antarctic reached its biggest size ever covering 11.4 million square miles - an area more than three times the size of the United States. For the first time it also stretched over populated areas exposing local residents to extreme levels of solar UV radiation. Local authorities warned residents in Southern Chile that they could sunburn in less than seven minutes and should avoid spending time outdoors in the middle of the day.

There are a lot of separate reasons why this question can not b totally acurately answered, ranging from how hot it is, how active the person is, what they had in their bodies already...but a rough answer is 15 days.

Ozone is produced by sunlight. There is less light at the poles (due to the earth's tilt), therefore there are holes there. Very little to do with man made gasses at all. Just one more "theory" with little or no basis in truth.

Well we've been through and ice age and a flood. I am guessing our planet will go up in a bid ball of fire...explains the ozone layer hey?

make more ozone. jk the best way to prevent it is to not cut down as many trees, not use cfc's (clorofloracarbons), and cut down on major pollution, such as factories and cars like hummers

There's not UV filtering, no ozone layer to protect it.  It will be burned by UV radiation.

global warming and ozone depletion is related. read this....\n\nGlobal Warming Can Increase Ozone Depletion\nScientist's are concerned that continued global warming will accelerate ozone destruction and increase stratospheric ozone depletion. Ozone depletion gets  worse when the stratosphere (where the ozone layer is), becomes colder.  Because global warming traps heat in the troposphere, less heat reaches the stratosphere which will make it colder.  Greenhouse gases act  like a blanket for the troposphere and make the stratosphere colder. In other words, global warming can make ozone depletion much worse right when it is supposed to begin its recovery during the next century.\n\ncheck the following link...it might help you!

no...the past cannot be revisited.It is scientifically impossible to redo realtime...time is not a program we can go back and fix.\nReligously,it is not even thought of....

Yes, but it will have a worst effect after. Who ever survives the next ice-age will endour horrid lung problems from all the hydrogen elements emersed in the air by the melted ice. Also, it hasn't been proven that the ozone will be stable after the "big storm". If the ozone isn't stable it will cause horrid burns on your skin and can give you a 1st degree burn in less than 5 min. Also all the diseses that will break out from people that drink unclean water.

Q: What common product, used widely in homes and cars, was banned due to its impact upon the ozone layer?\n\nA: Freon

I had to stop for this one..........what a great question Girl!! When the Scientists, Geologists and all the other "BRAINIACS" figured out that we were,as a planet, destroying everything, what they left out, was the fact that it was already too late. (Alot of evidence, as well as some awful smart people are of this opinion) But as you know, they're still telling us to buy fuel efficient cars, don't use deodorant with aerosol.........you've heard it too. It is food for thought, have we gone to far.......will there be anything left for our Grandchildren? You are a smart Girl!!                      LATER!!!!

Environmental groups have recently voiced concern that exhaust from the space shuttle and other rockets could harm the protective ozone layer. But measurements taken by satellites after shuttle launches do not show any sign of stratospheric ozone destruction, atmospheric scientists report.\n\nSolid-propellant motors used to loft some rockets pose a potential threat to the ozone layer because their exhaust contains chlorine, which in some forms can destroy ozone. Indeed, a scientific flight through a rocket's exahust plume in the 1970s detected a 40 percent decrease in ozone levels in the plume, reports Steven Aftergood of the Washington, D.C.-based American Federation of Scientists in the Sept. 20 JOURNAL Of GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH. Aftergood suggests that launches may produce local ozone "holes" that persist for several hours.\n\nIn the same journal, Richard McPeters of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and his colleagues respond to Aftergood's comments by examining satellite measurements of ozone in the shuttle launch area. They find no detectable ozone decrease after several launches.

Probably about 2-3 months.  If it comes off fast, it will usually come back on even faster.  Wait it out.
