Ozone in the upper atmosphere, far above the tallest mountains, is beneficial because it absorbs a lot of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is harmful to living things. However, ozone is a potent oxidizer, so it is generally not a good thing to breathe. That means that ozone at ground level, where we live, is damaging. Fortunately, ozone is not common at ground level except in polluted atmospheres. So you can prevent the damaging effects of ozone by avoiding going outside in highly polluted air.

Ozone layer is a protective layer around our atmosphere that protects us from harmful rays coming from the sun such as UV rays. But this ozone can be equally dangerous as well. When pollutants release from our vehicles rise above and collide with the ozone layer around our atmosphere, and mix with UV radiations this ozone become bad ozone.


It can trigger respiratory as well as circulatory illnesses in living organisms.


There are multiple ways we ca protect ourselves from bad ozone such as:


-Reduce the use of vehicles


-Use of automobiles reagents which do not produce harmful gases or chemicals as a products


- Reduce the use of aerosols and pesticides spray.
