Best Answer

Ozone can be decomposed by absorbing an ultraviolet (UV) photon. This is how ozone protects us from UV light. Ozone is unstable, and decays with time. Ozone is photocatalytically decayed by chlorine or bromine. Some ozone production is blocked by water vapor, and water vapor also provides a decay path for ozone.
