The recovery of the depleted ozone layer may take 5-15 years more than that estimated earlier, says a recent study. It found that the regeneration of the protective layer will be pushed back from 2044 to 2049 over the mid-latitudes (30<sup>0</sup>-60<sup>0</sup> North and South) and from 2050 to 2065 over Antarctica.<br>
