Explain the role of ozone gas in troposphere and stratosphere. What do you understand by ozone layer
depletion? Explain the causes and solution of ozone layer depletion.
As of the writing of this text, EPA standards limit atmospheric ozone levels in urban environments to 84 ppb. How many moles of ozone would there be in the air above Los Angeles County (an area about 4000 square miles; consider a height of 100 m above the ground) if ozone was at this concentration?
a) Mention the different kinds of radiation from the sun and the role of ozone in the stratosphere.
b) Describe ground ozone and how it is formed.
c) Discuss which ozone is more harmful for humans.
