What makes up smog and ground level ozone?
vehicles make up smog and ground level ozone. They are pollutants.
Does cold air make it harder to breathe outddoors?
Yes.
Why the ozone produced at ground level in large urban environments does not simply make its way to the stratosphere to replace the ozone that has been destroyed by CFCs?
Ozone at ground level is pollutant. It is bound by gravity.
What is bad ozone?
Ozone can be bad for us when it is in the air we actually breathe (troposphere), and in a concentration high enough to either damage lung tissues (> 1ppm), or cause inflammation that makes a condition like asthma worse (as little as 0.8ppm). Ozone can damage plant leaves, which will cause them to make less oxygen, and adversely affect whatever crops we depend on from them. Marigolds make ozone from their roots when attacked by parasites, so even plants use ozone. Ground level ozone is a respiratory irritant, and can aggravate the respiratory tract and also asthmatic conditions. Ozone exposure has been linked to permanent damage to lung tissue, aggrevation of asthma symptoms, and plaque formation in the blood stream (hardening of the arteries).
Why does cold air make you sleepy?
It does for me because it makes it harder to breathe. I have asthma.
What kind of oxygen atoms make up the ozone layer?
O3 oxygen make up the ozone. O2 oxygen is the oxygen that we breathe.
Can ground oyster shell soften hard water?
Ground oyster shells will make soft water harder. Therefore, it will make hard water, harder.
What are Gases found in ground level ozone?
Ground level ozone is one kind of gas. Ozone. Three gases are required make ozone in the presence of violet or more energetic light from the Sun: oxygen, NOx and VOC (unburned fuel).
If temperature changes what happens to ozone?
Increasing temperature increases the natural rate of decay of ozone, speeds up processes of ozone decay, and makes ozone slightly harder to make. So concentrations of ozone will net decrease with increasing temperature.
Why is burning garbage bad?
The chemicals in its smoke make a hole in the ozone layer. As long as there is a hole in the ozone layer, it becomes harder to fight global warming.
Why is it harder to breathe after exercise?
when you breath faster you heartrate goes up what make breath heavier.
Is ozone dangerous to breathe?
Recent research indicates that it is.Breathing ozone gas causes inflammation in the airway. If someone has asthma, this is life threatening.Ozone dissolved in the bloodstream has been linked to converting "good cholesterol" into "bad cholesterol", which can harden arteries and makes the heart pump harder. If you have a bad heart, or a problem with cholesterol, this can be life threatening.Beyond this, white blood cells make ozone (and other powerful oxidants) when fighting off infection. Waterfalls and lightning make ozone. Ozone is something organisms have been required to deal with, in some quantities, as long as there has been oxygen and life. Some ozone must be present. What is "normal" is the hard question, and probably depends on locale, time of year, and more.
