Answer:

Much of the ozone remains in the stratosphere (a layer of the atmosphere between 10 and 40 kilometres above us), where it acts as a shield to protect the Earth's surface from the sun's harmful UV rays. If we lost this protection, we'd be more exposed to skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems.

Explanation:

  • At ground level, ozone is toxic, but higher up in the atmosphere, the ozone layer is essential for the preservation of all living things.
  • UV radiation is emitted by the sun and has a negative impact on living things. The radiations are absorbed by this layer, which prevents them from reaching the earth's surface.
  • The stratospheric layer of the earth's atmosphere contains the ozone layer.
  • The lowest layers of the atmosphere are responsible for removing pollution from the earth's surface.
