Ozone is useful in the stratopause, fifty kilometers above the Earth's surface, because of its ability to absorb harmful ultraviolet rays from the Sun. This protects humans and other beings on Earth from these harmful rays. When it's so far away, it has no effect on health. However, when ozone is much closer to ground-level and it can be breathed in, it has deleterious effects on the lungs of the person breathing it in.
