When oxygen reacts with UV rays, high pressure is exerted over them. This results in the formation of ozone.

Ozone forms when oxygen gas (O2) reacts with UV rays in automobile emissions because the UV rays break the O2 molecule and form individual oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms can then react with other O2 molecules and form ozone (O3) through a series of chemical reactions.
