Yes. US-OSHA has established exposure limits in the workplace, and US-EPA has started placing ambient ozone limits on certain large cities that have problems with ambient ozone formation.
There are various recent issues about the ozone. One such is that ozone is depleting.
Ozone depletion is the process of thinning of ozone molecules below a certain concentration. The main reason behind ozone depletion is the excessive use of CFCs.
There aren't really any health and safety issues??
Global warming is the hot topic in environmental issues. It causes ozone depletion too.
Kyoto treaty is made for environmental issues. It treats ozone layer as an important issue.

Yes, combustion processes releasing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can lead to the formation of ground-level ozone, a major component of smog. Ozone can cause respiratory issues and other health problems, as well as contribute to environmental pollution and harm ecosystems. Implementing emission controls and using cleaner technologies can help reduce ozone formation from combustion processes.
Good ozone is present in the atmosphere. Bad ozone is at the ground level.
Ozone in the ozone layer is not at all a pollutant but it is something without which no ozone layer may have existed. Ozone can be considered as a pollutant in the stratospheric region but in the stratosphere or the ozone layer it is of full or complete use. No harms there.
The study of Earth's atmospheric ozone and the effect of chlorofluorocarbons on ozone is an example of environmental chemistry. It involves investigating the chemical processes that impact the ozone layer and contribute to ozone depletion. Understanding these interactions is crucial for addressing environmental issues such as climate change and protecting Earth's ozone layer.
Ground level ozone is harmful as it can cause respiratory issues, especially for vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. Ozone high above Earth, in the stratosphere, is beneficial as it forms the ozone layer that protects us from harmful UV radiation.
