It is a powerful oxidizer. Once the "loose" oxygen is expended, the oxygen molecule is no more potent than any other oxygen molecule. Ozone is unstable with a half-life of minutes to hours in air and water (water usually decays ozone faster, but ultrapure water can retain dissolved ozone for many hours). Rate constant are very high for most metals, sulfur and carbon-carbon double bonds. Lower rate constants obtain, most likely as ozone decays through "hydrogen peroxide" on its way to becoming just oxygen. Read more at the Wikipedia entry for ozone.

When is the health effects of the ozone a problem?
There are many health effects of ozone. Skin cancer and eye cataract are examples.
What are the effects on human health of decrease in stratosphere ozone?
The health effects associated with ozone are:Suppression of immune systemEYe cataractSKin cancer.
What effects the ozone have on the humans?
The ozone has both positive and negative effects. It protects us from UV rays but also acts as pollutant.
What are the effects of having good and bad ozone?
Good ozone is present in the atmosphere. Bad ozone is at the ground level.
How do the humans effects the ozone?
Humans produce CFC's. These CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
What are harmful effects of ozone?
The harmful effects of ozone are seen at ground level. Ozone acts as a pollutant there.
What are the ill effects of ozone?
The ozone has ill effects at ground level. It is a pollutant.
What are the effects of ozone on the skin?
The effects of ozone are adverse on skin. It can cause cancer.
What are the effects of troposheric ozone?
Tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.
How it effects the ozone layer?
The CFC's alter the ozone. They react with ozone and decompose it.
What are the health effects of ozone?
The health effects of ozone layer are:Retina lossSuppression of immune systemSkin cancer.
What the effects of the ozone have on the health and the environment?
The ozone has effects on health and environment. These affects are fatal enough for extinction.
What are the effects of the ozone to the depletion?
The effects of ozone depletion of humans are:skin cancerEye cataractSuppression of immune system.
What is the chemical effects of ozone?
Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent.
When is the health effects of the ozone a problem?
There are many health effects of ozone. Skin cancer and eye cataract are examples.
What causes and effects of ozone layer depletion?
Ozone depletion is caused by CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What are the effects on human health of decrease in stratosphere ozone?
The health effects associated with ozone are:Suppression of immune systemEYe cataractSKin cancer.
