Ozone
protects the earth from ultraviolet light but it has an affect on plant growth.
It stunts their ability to absorb to soak carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,
which also affects humans, who breathe the oxygen that plants make from the
carbon dioxide. Ozone is more reactive than even oxygen. As other chemicals react with it, such as the
UV rays it absorbs, ozone basically become a little kid jacked up on sugar. As
it goes crazy, it becomes unstable and heats the atmosphere, making it a
greenhouse gas. This craziness only lasts a little bit, again just like the
jacked up kid who crashes.
Ozone
can also cause many health problems. Coughing, chest pains, congestion and
throat irritation are just a few. It can cause damage to lungs and make asthma,
bronchitis, and emphysema worse. But ozone doesn’t just affect humans, humans
affect it too. We use the vehicles and factories that create the chemical
emission.
