Split "Ozone Layer" into "Ground Level Ozone" and "Stratospheric Ozone"
Edit this Page
SustainableDavid: Why? The only thing in common is Ozone--O3. Otherwise, Stratospheric O3
("S O3") is beneficial, ground level O3 ("GL O3") is hazardous and
toxic. S O3 is 1000s of feet up in the atmosphere; GL O3 is usually no
more than 1000 feet. S O3 is a natural feature; GL O3 is human-caused
pollution. One is the unwanted destruction of O3; the other is the
unwanted production of O3. One is caused by the gradual migration of
toxic chemicals into the stratosphere, where they react over and over
and over to dissociate O3 for years; the other happens in a few hours
and can happen every day. One is global; the other occurs in
metropolitan areas with industries and traffic congestion.
