Ozone in the troposphere injures / damages lung tissues in all animals. It also damages the leaves of most plants (which are their lungs). Ozone damages most rubber or plastic items, and bleaches the color from other items. A little ozone, like after a rainstorm is good, but continuous dosing is not. So it is considered a pollutant because it is largely man-caused, and because it has bad effects almost globally when in the troposphere.
Yes some amount of ozone is also present in the tropospheric region. This ozone is formed by the lightning and sometimes released as a pollutant on the surface of earth. The concentration of this ozone is of the order of ppm so it can be considered as negligible as compared to the stratospheric ozone.
What else can I help you with?
Why most of the ultraviolet waves emitted by the Sun do not strike Earth's surface?
Ozone (O3) is a gas that occurs in two layers of the atmosphere, the stratosphere and the troposphere. The stratospheric or "good" ozone layer, which extends upward from about 10 to 30 miles above the earth's surface, protects life on earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (UV-b). However, ozone found in the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere that extends from the earth's surface to about 10 miles up, is deemed ground level or "bad" ozone. At ground level, ozone is an air pollutant that damages human health, vegetation, many common materials, and is a key ingredient of smog.
What is the personification to the ozone?
The ozone layer swallows up the UV rays. The ozone can't swallow up because it does'nt have a mouth. It actually absorbs UV rays. It looks like the ozone is swallowing up. To not take it literally, this is a personification.
Why don't chlorofluorocarbons affect the stratosphere?
they really affect the stratosphere because as they get there the ultraviolet rays decompose them to release chlorine the real ozone killer~chlorine forms an unstable compound with ozone which later reduces it to oxygen destroying the ozone layer quickly because chorine can be active of a century.
What is the Ozone and where is it in the atmosphere?
Ozone is a gas that exists naturally in the upper hemispheres of earth. It can be produced by ultraviolet light
What is the protective layer of the atmosphere destroyed by CFC's?
The protective layer of the atmosphere that is destroyed by CFCs is the ozone layer. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) break down ozone molecules, leading to ozone depletion. This thinning of the ozone layer allows more harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun to reach the Earth's surface, posing risks to human health and the environment.
Where is ozone considered to be a serious pollutant?
Troposphere
Is ozone considered to be a serious pollutant?
Yes, ozone is considered a serious pollutant because at ground level, it can cause respiratory issues, aggravate asthma, and contribute to smog formation. It is considered harmful to human health and the environment.
Why is ozone considered a pollutant in the ozone layer?
Ozone in the ozone layer is not at all a pollutant but it is something without which no ozone layer may have existed. Ozone can be considered as a pollutant in the stratospheric region but in the stratosphere or the ozone layer it is of full or complete use. No harms there.
What is the natural occurring gas in the stratosphere that is considered a pollutant in the lower atmosphere?
Ozone (O3) is formed in the stratosphere, where it protects us from ultraviolet radiation. In the lower atmosphere ozone is considered a pollutant.
Ozone is a pollutant?
Yes, in the troposphere, ozone is a pollutant.
Is air pollution caused by the ozone?
In general no. Ozone is a product of pollution, and is itself considered a pollutant.
What is the most common air pollutant in the US?
Ozone is considered to be the most common air pollutant in the United States.
Is ozone a primary pollutant?
Yes, ozone is considered a secondary pollutant because it is formed through chemical reactions between primary pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, in the presence of sunlight.
Why ozone is a pollutan when it is in the lower atmosphere and not a pollutant when in high?
Ozone is a pollutant. It is a secondary one. High ozone is good.
What bad things does the ozone?
The ozone at ground level is a pollutant. It acts as a secondary pollutant.
What cause troposphereic ozone?
The tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.
What is a naturally occurring gas in the stratosphere that is considered a pollutant in the lower atmosphere?
Ozone (O3).
