Question

Where is bad ozone found?

Answer 1

Location of bad ozone:

1. Three oxygen atoms are bound together to form the pale blue gas known as ozone.
2. It naturally exists at a high altitude in the Earth's atmosphere, shielding the surface from dangerous ultraviolet (UV) radiation until it is destroyed by natural or man-made events.
3. When it is present closer to the ground, it is also regarded as a pollutant with negative effects on people and other animals.
4. Human activities cause ozone concentrations in the troposphere, near the Earth's surface, to be several times higher than the natural background level.
5. Bad ozone is thought to be present near the earth's surface in the troposphere.
