Well, it depends on what kind of ozone you're talking about. Stratospheric ozone, which occurs several kilometers above earth's surface, absorbs UV radiation and protects us from the damage that would be caused to plants and animals (including humans) from light of those wavelengths, but we don't have to breathe it, so we reap only its benefits. However, the ozone formed in the troposphere, where we humans live, results from the photochemical oxidation of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. We breath the ozone here in the surface layer, and while it has the same chemical makeup as that in the stratosphere, it is a respiratory irritant to humans and animals and can cause damage to plants.
What else can I help you with?
What is a problem created by the ozone layer?
Nothing is wrong with ozone layer. There is problem with absence of ozone layer.
When did the problem started?
The ozone problem start with the use of CFC's. They react with ozone.
What problem did you had with the ozone layer and why?
Ozone layer is a protective layer. The problem with it is its depletion.
What caused the problem of the ozone?
The ozone problem was caused by human activities such as the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances into the atmosphere. These substances break down ozone in the stratosphere, leading to the formation of the ozone hole.
What is the problem- ozone depletion?
The ozone depletion is a worldwide problem. It is not the issue of one citizen.
When did the ozone problems start?
The ozone problem start with the use of CFC's. They react with ozone.
What problem has to do with the ozone layer?
Ozone is depleting. It is due to CFC's.
Why is poking holes in the ozone layer a problem?
Poking holes in ozone layer is a problem. A hole in ozone would cause the ultraviolet radiations to enter the surface.
What is ozone and why is ozone depletion a problem?
The ozone depletion is the loss of ozone. It allows harmful UV rays to pass through it.
Why is ozone disappearance a problem?
Ozone disappearing is a problem as it allows UV rays to allow enter the earth. They are fatal for life on earth.
What problem do you have with ozone layer?
The main problem with ozone layer is the depletion. It is due to the reckless use of CFC's by humans.
How is the problem of the ozone layer worsening?
The problem of ozone layer is worsening. It is due to many ODS working together.
