It is tri atomic oxygen (03) and is a gas found in the troposphere as well as in the stratosphere. Tropospheric ozone is undesirable since it is a pollutant these‚ causing photochemical smog and greenhouse effect. In the stratosphere‚ it acts as a protectant since‚ (i) It absorbs the dangerous UV-radiations (ii) It helps to trap the weather pattern within the troposphere‚ by generating a temperative inversion in the stratosphere. Tropospheric ozone is increasing due to human activities‚ while
