Yes it can. In the air we breathe, ozone is a pollutant, which in large amounts causes damage to man, animals and plants. It makes up about 10 % of all ozone, and is produced, for example, as a consequence of the exhaust fumes from cars. This ozone is formed via a complex reaction involving absorption of violet and more energetic light (including ultraviolet).
Oxygen can absorb UV-C, but there is none of that left much beyond he "ozone layer". Oxygen cannot absorb UV-B. Only ozone can do this in our atmosphere.

∙ 10y agoYes, the ozone layer protects us from harmful UV radiations of the sun. These are high energy radiations which can cause various problems to life on earth.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoYes, the ozone layer absorbs the harmful UV light. This is a high frquency radiations which can cause fatal problems for life on earth.

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet radiation. However not all radiations are absorbed. Only UV-B are released.

Why do trees help us breathe?
We produce carbon dioxide which we release into the atmosphere when we exhale. Trees absorb the carbon dioxide and in turn produce oxygen, which we need to breath. Green plants are the world's best air purifiers!
Where does air go after you breath it in?
It's taken into the lungs, where the alveoli absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. When you breathe out, the carbon dioxide dissipates into the atmophere.
When you breathe out what is pushed out of your body?
Carbon Dioxide and unused Oxygen.
Why is the air you breathe out hotter than the air you breathe in?
Your body warms and moistens the air that passes into the lungs to make it easier for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream.
How do you know the air you breathe is matter even if you can't see it?
It doesn't matter that you can't see the air you breathe. Oxygen is gas, gas is a form of matter. So, air is matter.
Which gas is the kind of oxygen that you breathe and can absorb ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone absorbs UV, but is toxic to breath!
What gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation and Which gases absorb ultraviolet?
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
An oxygen from present in the what filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
ozone
Which gasses absorb Ultraviolet rays?
O3 (Ozone) and O2 (Oxygen)
Do crustaceans absorb the CO2 in the sea?
no, they breathe out c0,2 they breathe in the oxygen they can find
Do shark have lungs?
No, they have gills.Sharks do not breathe with lungs, but with gills that absorb the oxygen in the water.
Oxygen is added to an ecosysem by?
Oxygen is given off by plants as they absorb carbon dioxide. It's like how animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, except plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
An oxygen form present in the filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
An oxygen form present in the ozone filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Conduction is the heat transfer that occurs when molecules come in contact with one another.
How much of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?
95-99.9%
An oxygen form present in the what filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
ozone layer
Which component of the biosphere contains oxygen that you breathe as well as oxygen that protects us from radiation?
hiou
Can human body breathe in only oxygen?
No. we breath in carbon dioxide too, but only absorb oxygen.
