How can people reduce the amount of electricity used by an air conditioner?

The best way to reduce the amount of electricity used by an air conditioner is to raise the set point of the thermostat to a warmer setting.


How can you avoid ozone irritation?

To avoid ozone irritation, stay indoors during peak ozone hours (typically in the afternoon), use air purifiers with ozone filters, and avoid activities that release ozone into the air, such as using certain cleaning products or appliances. Regularly check air quality reports and follow recommendations to reduce exposure.


How is ozone produced in the air people breath?

Ozone is produced at ground level which is a pollutant. it is made by thunder and lightening.


How does the ozone layer help maintain ground-level air quality?

The ozone layer absorbs a large portion of incoming UV radiation, which keeps ground-level ozone from forming. A higher percentage of UV radiation entering the troposphere would allow a greater amount of ozone to form in the troposphere. Ozone is a pollutant in the troposphere. By regulating the amount of UV radiation that enters the troposphere, the ozone layer also regulates the amount of ozone formation in the troposphere.


How do polymers help us protect the ozone layer?

Polymers themselves do not help protect the ozone layer. Some of the solvents in processing the polymers do serve to produce ground level ozone. However, when you consider what the polymers are replacing, there is some beneficial use: wood, metal. Woods require cutting down trees, which can reduce available oxygen (all else being equal), whcih will eventually reduce the amount of ozone in the ozone layer. Metals are smelted using much more fossil fuel than is required to process polymers. Combustion processes add water vapor to the air and reduce available oxygen, both of which reduce ozone concentrations. Additionally, producing polymers ties up fossil fuels that would otherwise be burned... or turned into "face cream". And they can be recycled.

Who makes a device to remove ozone from room air?

Any air moving device that has either Carulite 200 (a catalyst that turns ozone back to oxygen) or activated carbon (which requires frequent replacement / reactivation), will reduce ozone levels in the air passing through it. Odorous compounds with double carbon bonds or not-fully-oxidized sulfur will consume ozone. These would be perfumes, flatulence (sorry), rotten egg smells, and so on.


How chloride changes ozone to bad ozone?

There is no "good" or "bad" ozone. All ozone is O3. Ozone in the stratosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation. Chlorine in the stratosphere interacts with the ozone there to convert it to O2 or normal oxygen, removing its ability to interact with UV. Ozone in the troposphere (ground level air) or the workplace is an air pollutant. Chlorine as no role in its formation or destruction.


Why is the amount of water vapor in the air important why is the amount of carbon dioxide in the air important why is dust in the air important how many oxygen atoms are in the ozone?

water vapors are important to maintain moisture,for seed germination,rain........co2 is important for the photosynthesis of plants,dust may provide a source of friction, and there are 3 oxygen atoms in one molecule of ozone....
