1. Good Ozone

   • Definition:
     • A colourless unstable toxic gas with a pungent odor and powerful oxidizing properties.
   • The Molecule of ozone is O3.
   • Location
     • The ozone is located in the stratosphere.
   • Purpose
     • To bounce back ultraviolet radiation.
   • It is measured in Dobson Units
   • Dangerous Substances
     • The CFC's in spray produdcts: Gaseous CFCs can deplete the ozone layer when they slowly rise into the stratosphere, are broken down by strong ultraviolet radiation, release chlorine atoms, and then react with ozone molecules.
     • We should start buying aerosol products without CFC's as propellants, and we should maintain conditioning systems in order to prevent leakage.

2. Bad Ozone

   • Definition
     • Tropospheric ozone, it stays in the troposphere and makes it a pollutant.
   • Location
     • It is located in the troposhpere, not in the stratosphere like good ozone.
   • Sources
     • Industrial activity and transportation
   • Secondary Effects
     • Prevents plants form breathing
   • Remedial Actions
     • Reducing methane and cutting the levels of atmospheric pollution.
