Ozone in the troposphere injures / damages lung tissues in all animals. It also damages the leaves of most plants (which are their lungs). Ozone damages most rubber or plastic items, and bleaches the color from other items. A little ozone, like after a rainstorm is good, but continuous dosing is not. So it is considered a pollutant because it is largely man-caused, and because it has bad effects almost globally when in the troposphere.
Yes some amount of ozone is also present in the tropospheric region. This ozone is formed by the lightning and sometimes released as a pollutant on the surface of earth. The concentration of this ozone is of the order of ppm so it can be considered as negligible as compared to the stratospheric ozone.
Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. It is formed in a natural process by the action of UV light on oxygen molecule.
The troposphere.
Ozone (O3) is a gas that occurs in two layers of the atmosphere, the stratosphere and the troposphere. The stratospheric or "good" ozone layer, which extends upward from about 10 to 30 miles above the earth's surface, protects life on earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (UV-b). However, ozone found in the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere that extends from the earth's surface to about 10 miles up, is deemed ground level or "bad" ozone. At ground level, ozone is an air pollutant that damages human health, vegetation, many common materials, and is a key ingredient of smog.
The ozone layer swallows up the UV rays. The ozone can't swallow up because it does'nt have a mouth. It actually absorbs UV rays. It looks like the ozone is swallowing up. To not take it literally, this is a personification.

No, it is consntly changing due to weather patterns and pollutant in air.
No, it is consntly changing due to weather patterns and pollutant in air.
Yes, it is. But only ground ozone is pollutant.
Troposphere
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.
Ozone (O3) is formed in the stratosphere, where it protects us from ultraviolet radiation. In the lower atmosphere ozone is considered a pollutant.
In general no. Ozone is a product of pollution, and is itself considered a pollutant.
Yes, in the troposphere, ozone is a pollutant.
Ozone is considered to be the most common air pollutant in the United States.
Ozone is the gas. It is present as ozone layer in the atmosphere.
The ozone at ground is a secondary pollutant. It is also called bad ozone.
Ozone is a pollutant. It is a secondary one. High ozone is good.
