Come now, you've gratuitously insulted every honest idiot on the

Additionally, the polar areas get a much higher energetic particle
flux, due to the shape and nature the Earth's magnetic field.  More
energetic particles results in more ozone-> monatomic oxygen breakups,
followed by recombination to the "standard" oxygen molecule, O2,,,,,
