Ozone

Question 4 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Ozone located in the troposphere is _______.

Answer
A
considered a pollutant
B
beneficial to living organisms
C
higher in concentration than ozone in the stratosphere
D
all of the above

Explanation

Tropospheric ozone is ground-level ozone, which can harm people, plants, and other living organisms, so it is considered a pollutant. Stratospheric ozone is beneficial because it absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. Ozone is more concentrated in the stratosphere, so choice c is false and “all of the above” is not correct.
