No, Ozone is not a primary pollutant, it is a pollutant near ground level. However, it keeps many ultraviolet rays from reaching the Earth.

Is ground ozone a primary or secondary pollutant?
Secondary Pollutant
Is formaldehyde a primary pollutant?
Yes, it is a primary pollutant
What is a secondary pollutant?
A secondary pollutant is not directly emitted, it is formed in the atmosphere when primary pollutants are mixed as through chemical and photochemical reaction. For example, a secondary pollution would be ozone which is formed when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides combine in sunlight
What is a form of oxygen that is a pollutant in the trophosphere?
Ozone
Are fumes from burning plastic a primary pollutant?
Yes. A primary pollutant is emitted directly into the atmosphere.
Is ground ozone a primary or secondary pollutant?
Secondary Pollutant
What is the primary pollutant?
sulpher dioxide nitrogen dioxide
Ozone is a pollutant?
Yes, in the troposphere, ozone is a pollutant.
What form of ozone is considered a secondary pollutant?
secondary pollutants are pollutants that form from chemical reactions that occur when primary pollutants come in contact with other primary polluants or with naturally occurring substances such as water vapor.
Is ozone considered to be a serious pollutant?
Yes, it is. But only ground ozone is pollutant.
What ozone layer is a secondary pollutant?
The ozone at ground is a secondary pollutant. It is also called bad ozone.
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.
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 is the importance of the role of ozone in air pollution?
Ozone is a pollutant. It is at ground level a pollutant.
What cause troposphereic ozone?
The tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.
Why is ozone called a secondary pollutant?
Ozone is called a secondary pollutant because it is not directly emitted into the atmosphere. Instead, it is formed from chemical reactions between primary pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight. These reactions produce ozone as a secondary byproduct, which can be harmful to human health and the environment.
