Stratospheric ozone exists naturally, though it is being damaged by humans, and has a positive impact for humans by blocking UV rays. Tropospheric ozone can be natural, but is largely generated by humans. It is a secondary pollutant, meaning other pollutants (like NO2) are emitted and ozone is then formed by a chemical reaction with solar radiation. This type of ozone is very damaging to human health as well as plant life.
What else can I help you with?
Is UV radiation only absorbed by tropospheric ozone?
No, UV-B radiation is uniquely absorbed by ozone, no matter where that ozone is located. Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but most is concentrated at the bottom of the stratosphere. Ozone concentrations drop to near zero at the top of the exosphere, and the bottom of the troposphere. So very little UV-B is absorbed by ozone in the troposphere,
Is there any chemical difference between statospheric ozone and ozone found in air pollution?
Ozone present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere is called as good ozone. It protects us from the harmful UV light of the sun.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.
Does Ozone make smog?
Wrong way around. Tropospheric (ground level) ozone is a component of photochemical smog. It is made by the interaction of ultraviolet light, volatile hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Other products of this reaction include polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Stratospheric ozone (hig level) is made by the interaction of oxygen atoms and ultraviolet light. The two locations only interact when stratospheric ozone is downwashed by the jet stream passing over high mountain into the troposphere.
Polar stratospheric clouds convert the products of cfcs into?
Polar stratospheric clouds can convert the products of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) into reactive forms that contribute to ozone depletion. The chlorine released from CFC molecules in the presence of sunlight can react with ozone molecules in the stratosphere, leading to ozone destruction. This process can further exacerbate the thinning of the ozone layer.
What is the relationship between stratospheric levels of atomic chlorine and ozone?
Atomic chlorine in the stratosphere is a key component in ozone depletion. It reacts with ozone molecules, breaking them down into oxygen molecules which can lead to the thinning of the ozone layer. This process is particularly significant in the formation of the ozone hole over Antarctica.
How are humans changing both tropospheric and stratospheric ozone?
No, they are not. Humans are chaging the stratospheric ozone only.
Is there holes in both the tropospheric and stratospheric ozone?
No, there is not a hole in both ozone levels. The stratospheric ozone alone has the ozone hole.
How many kinds of ozone are there?
There is only one kind of ozone. The difference between the air pollutant (tropospheric) and the UV-B absorbant / protectant (stratospheric) is just location.
Why is the tropospheric ozone pollution?
Stratospheric ozone is pollutant. It is because it mixes with other pollutants.
What is the difference between stratospheric ozone and photochemical ozone?
Stratosphere ozone is good ozone. Photo chemical ozone is pollutant.
What cause troposphereic ozone?
The tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.
Where does the tropospheric ozone come from and what does it do?
Tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.
What is the common name for the tropospheric ozone?
Tropospheric ozone is a pollutant. It is called as bad ozone.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains a layer of ozone?
The stratospheric region of earth contains a layer of ozone called as the ozone layer. This layer of ozone protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the sun thus acting as a blanket. ozone however is also found in small concentrations in the tropospheric region. But because of the small concentrations it is considered to be negligible as compared to stratospheric ozone.
What causes tropospheric?
The tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.
Is UV radiation only absorbed by tropospheric ozone?
No, UV-B radiation is uniquely absorbed by ozone, no matter where that ozone is located. Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but most is concentrated at the bottom of the stratosphere. Ozone concentrations drop to near zero at the top of the exosphere, and the bottom of the troposphere. So very little UV-B is absorbed by ozone in the troposphere,
What is destroying the stratospheric ozone?
Stratospheric ozone forms the ozone layer. Destroying it is ozone depletion.
