Well, it depends on what kind of ozone you're talking about. Stratospheric ozone, which occurs several kilometers above earth's surface, absorbs UV radiation and protects us from the damage that would be caused to plants and animals (including humans) from light of those wavelengths, but we don't have to breathe it, so we reap only its benefits. However, the ozone formed in the troposphere, where we humans live, results from the photochemical oxidation of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. We breath the ozone here in the surface layer, and while it has the same chemical makeup as that in the stratosphere, it is a respiratory irritant to humans and animals and can cause damage to plants.

How are problem molecules destroying the ozone?
Molecules that create problem are chlorine and fluorine. They deplete ozone.
When did the ozone problems start?
The ozone problem start with the use of CFC's. They react with ozone.
What problem has to do with the ozone layer?
Ozone is depleting. It is due to CFC's.
What is ozone and why is ozone depletion a problem?
The ozone depletion is the loss of ozone. It allows harmful UV rays to pass through it.
Why is poking holes in the ozone layer a problem?
Poking holes in ozone layer is a problem. A hole in ozone would cause the ultraviolet radiations to enter the surface.
Ozone depletion in the stratosphere is what kind of problem?
Ozone depletion in the stratosphere is a big problem.It can be termed as a global problem.
