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. Bad Ozone’: Ground-level Ozone & Impact on Health.

We breathe oxygen from the atmosphere, weather systems distribute water, and the ozone in the upper atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation. 5] Additionally, the reaction of these volatile chemicals contributes to ground-level ozone production, which, unlike ozone in the stratosphere, is hazardous to human health.

One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. NOx and SOx move to higher levels of the atmosphere and react with oxygen and water vapor to produce acid rain, which harms crops, forests and ecosystems by decreasing growth and damaging foliage. Secondary PM2.5
