Hey
Ozone /ˈoʊzoʊn/, or trioxygen, is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula O
3. It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O
2, breaking down in the lower atmosphere to O
2 or dioxygen. Ozone is formed from dioxygen by the action of ultraviolet light and also atmospheric electrical discharges, and is present in very low concentrations throughout the Earth's atmosphere (stratosphere). Its concentration is highest in the ozone layer region of the atmosphere, which absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Hope it helps u

It is produced from oxygen in the atmosphere around the welding area. Control of exposure to ozone can be difficult. Ozone (O3) is toxic gas and can have a deleterious effect on human health. It is also a powerful oxidising gas, a potent germicide, and is invisible to the human eye at normal concentrations.
