Ozone present in the troposphere is also called as bad ozone. It is also a
green house gas. It is the major constituent of the urban smog.
Troposphere ozone is also called as ground level ozone. This is the harmful ozone of the total one.
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (unlike the normal oxygen molecules which contains only two oxygen atoms). All ozone has the same composition, there is only one kind of ozone. Whether ozone is considered to be good or bad depends upon the location of the ozone, not the composition. Ozone at high altitudes is good, because it protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ozone at ground level is bad, because it is harmful to our health if we inhale it.
Ozone is ozone not a moral principle - it is not good or bad. Ozone in the ozone layer and sheilds the Earth's surface from UV radiation, ozone in air is a toxic material which can damage plants and human health, ozone in air in the presence of VOC and NOx can create photochemical smog, ozone introduced into water supples can kill harmful pathogens.

No, the good ozone is present in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere. The one located in the lower atmosphere is bad.

The ozone forming in lower atmosphere is bad. Downside the upper atmosphere one is good.

There is only one kind of ozone. The difference between the air pollutant (tropospheric) and the UV-B absorbant / protectant (stratospheric) is just location.
No, the good ozone is present in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere. The one located in the lower atmosphere is bad.
The bad effects of thinning are many. UV entering and altering our DNA is one.
The highest concentration is in the lower stratosphere, also called the tropopause, and the ozone here is called the ozone layer. Ozone is also found in the lower atmosphere, also called the troposphere, and the ozone here is one component of smog.(See the related questions below.)
The ozone layer is all present inside one layer in atmosphere. This layer of atmosphere is called as the Stratosphere.
Ozone for one *what*?
Ozone can be bad for us when it is in the air we actually breathe (troposphere), and in a concentration high enough to either damage lung tissues (> 1ppm), or cause inflammation that makes a condition like asthma worse (as little as 0.8ppm). Ozone can damage plant leaves, which will cause them to make less oxygen, and adversely affect whatever crops we depend on from them. Marigolds make ozone from their roots when attacked by parasites, so even plants use ozone. Ground level ozone is a respiratory irritant, and can aggravate the respiratory tract and also asthmatic conditions. Ozone exposure has been linked to permanent damage to lung tissue, aggrevation of asthma symptoms, and plaque formation in the blood stream (hardening of the arteries).
