Good Ozone vs. Bad Ozone Link
Good vs. Bad Ozone - Recap Good Ozone Bad Ozone Stratosphere Protects us from UV rays Is being depleted by ODS (ozone depleting substances) CFC’s HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) Hole in ozone will result in higher rates of skin cancer, cataracts, immune disorders, crop damage, & phytoplankton (base of many food chains!) Troposphere Created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight Emissions from industrial facilities and electric utilities, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC Human health impacts – primarily lung damage
