Apparently Ozone in the higher layer of the atmosphere
is good, but ozone near us is not? Ozone pollution is
known to be harmful.
How Ozone Pollution Works
by Craig C. Freudenrich, Ph.D
Effects of Ozone
When you inhale ozone, it travels throughout your
respiratory tract. Because ozone is very corrosive, it
damages the bronchioles and alveoli in your lungs, air
sacs that are important for gas exchange (see How Your
Lungs Work for details). Repeated exposure to ozone
can inflame lung tissues and cause respiratory
infections.
Ozone exposure can aggravate existing respiratory
conditions such as asthma, reduce your lung function
and capacity for exercise and cause chest pains and
coughing. Young children and the elderly are most
susceptible to the high levels of ozone encountered
during the summer.
In addition to effects on humans, the corrosive nature
of ozone can damage plants and trees. High levels of
ozone can destroy agricultural crops and forest
vegetation.
