What is low ozone?

Answer 1

A High ozone is:Ozone is a form of oxygen.



A Low ozone is: "A combination of stratospheric and tropospheric weather systems can occasionally create these extreme low ozone events".

Answer 2

Ozone levels applies to ozone in the air we breathe. Nature makes some ozone "down here", primarily lightning and waterfalls. Most of the ozone we worry about comes from combustion and combustion byproducts from automobiles (trucks, and so on too), power plants, and factories. Combustion produces NOx as a byproduct. VOC is unburned fuel (engines out-of-tune, or "running rich") and compounds from natural sources (methane from people and cows, and exudants from trees and plants). These two when irradiated by violet to ultraviolet light from the Sun will form ozone. Ozone is an irritant to breathing, even for plants, and is not a "good thing" where we have to breathe.

Answer 3

Ground-level Ozone ("low ozone") What is ozone?O3 is a colorless, odorless gas at ambient concentrations and is a major component of smog. What are the sources of ozone?Ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the atmosphere. It results from photochemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight. High levels typically occur from May to September, between noon and early evening. What are the effects of ozone?O3 irritates the respiratory tract and eyes. Exposure to high levels of O3 results in chest tightness, coughing and wheezing. People with respiratory and heart problems are at a higher risk. Ozone has been linked to increased hospital admissions and premature death. Ozone causes agricultural crop loss each year and noticeable leaf damage in many crops, garden plants and trees.

"Bad" ozone at ground-level is harmful to breathe and damages crops, trees, and other vegetation.

Answer 4

Low ozone refers to a depletion of the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. This can lead to increased levels of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface, posing risks to human health and the environment. Causes of low ozone include the release of ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

Answer 5

It is a relative measure of how much ozone is in the air we breathe, and expresses that it is in a concentration below that necessary to be a hazard to people with breathing issues (Asthma).

Answer 6

High ozone level is found in the ozone layer. It is dense pool of ozone molecules.

Answer 7

Ozone is located in stratosphere. It extends upto 28 km.

Answer 8

Ozone layer present in troposphere is known as bad ozone. It is a pollutant and is a major constituent of urabn smog.
