Ozone blocks UV-B. UV-B directly damages DNA, causing cancer, mutation, and decreased crop yields. So ozone where there is little life (like the ozone layer). is "good". Ozone where we breathe is a powerful oxidant, and damages lung tissue and the breathing structures of plants. How can high speed truck traffic be both harmful and helpful? In your living room, it can cause death. On a nearby road, it can deliver food. All a matter of *where*. The ozone layer protects us from the suns radiation. Holes in the ozone are harmful.
