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.

Ozone is dangerous in which layer of atmosphere?

Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere. It is a minimum value at the extremes of the exosphere, and the bottom of the troposphere (where it is called a pollutant), with a peak value in the lower stratosphere. Ozone concentrations in excess of 0.05ppm in the lower troposphere is dangerous to people with asthma, and much above this, damages plants as well.


What is a common name for troposphere ozone?

It only has one name in each language. In English, it is "ozone layer". Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, and is at its highest concentrations in the lower stratosphere / upper troposphere, where it is called the "ozone layer". Still lots of nitrogen and oxygen there too, though.


What is the naturally occurring gas in the stratosphere that is considered a pollutant in the lower atmosphere?

Ozone is a naturally occurring gas in the stratosphere, where it plays a vital role in absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation. However, in the lower atmosphere, ozone is considered a pollutant as it is a key component of smog and can have adverse effects on human health and the environment.


What happens to the CFC molecule in the lower atmosphere?

In the lower atmosphere, CFC molecules undergo photolysis when they are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This process breaks down the CFC molecule into chlorine atoms, which can then catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules. This contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer.


Which layer of the atmosphere is the first?

Atmosphere. Ozone is formed by interaction between oxygen in the atmosphere, and UV-C from the Sun.

Why ozone not found in the atmosphere of the Earth?

Ozone is found in atmosphere. It is present in stratosphere.


What atmosphere layer is the ozone layer found?

Ozone is found in the stratospheric region of atmosphere. It is found in the form of ozone layer.


Why ozone layer is a pollutan when it is in the lower atmosphere and not a pollutant when in high?

Ozone layer is a pollutant when it is in lower atmosphere because there it does not protect us. The stratospheric ozone is a good one.


Where ozone found in the atmosphere?

Ozone is found mostly in the atmosphere. Inside the atmosphere, it is a layer inside another layer called stratosphere.


In which layer of the atmosphere is most of the ozone found?

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.)


How ozone is formed in the lower atmosphere?

Ozone as we know in low atmosphere is harmful. It is formed by thunder and lightening.


What 2 places is ozone found?

When do you find ozone in the atmosphere?

In the lower stratosphere


In what layer of the atmosphere is ozone formed?

The ozone is found and formed in the atmosphere. It is formed in the stratosphere.


What happens when ozone drops too low and meets gases lower in the atmosphere?

Ozone in the ozone layer will never get into the lower atmosphere. Ozone that is created at the surface can interact with sunlight and other pollutants to create smog.


What is the importance of the ozone layer situated in the lower mesosphere?

The ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere, not the mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, or troposphere. There is some ozone found in the all layers of the atmosphere, just not at very high concentrations. See the link below for more. There is some ozone in every layer of the atmosphere. It is minimum in the exosphere, and in the lower troposphere. The most total ozone, and the maximum ozone concentration are found in the lower stratosphere. This region is called he "ozone layer". Ozone is located in all layers of the atmosphere. Ozone is in the highest concentration (10ppm) in the tropopause (or lower part of the stratosphere), decreasing to near zero above or below this region. It increases slightly again (<1 ppm) in the troposphere, due in part to the actions of Man.


Why is ozone found in upper atmosphere not a pollutant?

The ozone found in the upper atmosphere protects us from the UV rays. It is not a polluntant.
