The ozone keeps out harmful rays from the Sun and helps to keep the planet in a normal temperature range. Ozone is also a powerful anti microbial and works by breaking the bacterial cell wall. It is used in sewerage treatment works since short wavelength Ultra Violet light generates ozone. It is passed through polluted water to sterilise it before it is pumped into rivers and oceans. UV light generating ozone is being used in Swimming Pools and water treatment works as an alternative to chlorine and is tasteless.
