Whats the common name for troposphereic ozone?
Troposphere ozone is also called as ground level ozone. This is the harmful ozone of the total one.
What is meant by good and bad ozone?
Ozone is ozone not a moral principle - it is not good or bad. Ozone in the ozone layer and sheilds the Earth's surface from UV radiation, ozone in air is a toxic material which can damage plants and human health, ozone in air in the presence of VOC and NOx can create photochemical smog, ozone introduced into water supples can kill harmful pathogens.
What chemicals make up bad ozone?
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (unlike the normal oxygen molecules which contains only two oxygen atoms). All ozone has the same composition, there is only one kind of ozone. Whether ozone is considered to be good or bad depends upon the location of the ozone, not the composition. Ozone at high altitudes is good, because it protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ozone at ground level is bad, because it is harmful to our health if we inhale it.
What is one of the factors scentists think is contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer?
One of the factors that scientists believe is contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer is the release of certain chemicals called ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. These chemicals break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer.
Is the good ozone located in the earth's lower atmosphere?
No, the good ozone is located in the earth's upper atmosphere, specifically in the stratosphere. This ozone layer protects the earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.

What is the difference between the upper and lower ozone?
The ozone forming in lower atmosphere is bad. Downside the upper atmosphere one is good.

What are the bad effects of the thinning of the ozone layer?
The bad effects of thinning are many. UV entering and altering our DNA is one.
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.
What the ozone layer is in this layer?
The ozone layer is all present inside one layer in atmosphere. This layer of atmosphere is called as the Stratosphere.
What is ozone for one?
Ozone for one *what*?
What is one location on a spreadsheet?
One location on a spreadsheet is called a "cell".
What is bad ozone?
Ozone can be bad for us when it is in the air we actually breathe (troposphere), and in a concentration high enough to either damage lung tissues (> 1ppm), or cause inflammation that makes a condition like asthma worse (as little as 0.8ppm). Ozone can damage plant leaves, which will cause them to make less oxygen, and adversely affect whatever crops we depend on from them. Marigolds make ozone from their roots when attacked by parasites, so even plants use ozone. Ground level ozone is a respiratory irritant, and can aggravate the respiratory tract and also asthmatic conditions. Ozone exposure has been linked to permanent damage to lung tissue, aggrevation of asthma symptoms, and plaque formation in the blood stream (hardening of the arteries).

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.
