For years I thought that man was the reason that we had a large Ozone hole over the south pole in beyond however I have just learned that is not the case! So relax man its not are fault.. Well it really is but not in the way most people would think.
Ozone is a natural gas which is produced when sunlight strikes the atmosphere. Ozone is poisonous but it is in the upper atmosphere, so there is no need to freak. It is a barrier that protects life from radiation. For years scientists have told us all that R-12 the stuff that comes from are refrigerators and air conditioners are destroying the Ozone. Yes it is true that R-12 can destroy the Ozone but it never rises high enough to destroy the Ozone in the upper atmosphere. R-12 sinks and does not rise. Even convection currents would not carry man made R-12 into the upper atmosphere in a 100 years, which is longer then we have been making it. So why in the world is there a large hole over the poles? Remember when I said; "Ozone is a natural gas which is produced when sunlight strikes the atmosphere." Well ever since the flood the poles have not been in direct sunlight so it does not produce enough Ozone.
So in review R-12 can not destroy Ozone in the upper atmosphere because it sinks and does not rise high enough. The Ozone hole is created because the poles are at such oblique angle that it does not produce Ozone.
So when someone tells you that it is man's fault that we have a Ozone hole you can tell them yes. Man sin has ruined this world and that why we have a Ozone hole.

Why did you only use R-12 as an example?
This was more about R-12 than the ozone. Maybe a better title would have been "R-12 and the Ozone".
But a pretty good post on R-12 anyway.
