Our ozone layer serves as a lifesaving UV barrier for planet earth, functioning to absorb most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. At the same time, ground-level ozone pollution is extremely harmful to human health. Good Ozone’: Our Essential Sun Shield. How is Ozone Created?

Unlike some of the other major air pollutants that affect our health, such as ground-level ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter is the only example that isn’t a gas. But what exactly is PM pollution and how does it affect us?

Candidate in the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University Earths atmosphere is one of our greatest shared resources and provides many ingredients required for life. We breathe oxygen from the atmosphere, weather systems distribute water, and the ozone in the upper atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation.

Transportation generates 47 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone. It also supports the installation of fueling stations for these vehicles. The projects are collectively anticipated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 600 metric tons per year.

One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. It has been estimated that globally oil processing is responsible for about 15 percent of all VOCs released into the atmosphere. To make matters worse, NOx contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone and secondary PM2.5,

Levels of Ground-level Ozone Pollution Can Increase in Summer. As ground-level ozone requires the presence of sunlight to form, high heat and sunny weather can function to increase concentrations of this particular pollutant. , releasing choking black smog across Russia’s North-Eastern region.

Despite clear recommendations from its own science advisors, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced over the summer that it will delay its scheduled process to consider strengthening public health standards for ground-level ozone pollution. The stakes over ground-level ozone standard are high.
