Concluding Thoughts. Ozone is found in two different layers of the atmosphere-the troposphere and the stratosphere. The stratospheric ozone, or good ozone, protects life on earth from harmful effects of the sun's UV rays. We have good reason to be concerned about the thinning of the ozone layer in the stratosphere.
Ozone is formed naturally in Earth's upper atmosphere. When the oxygen gas (O2) in the atmosphere is exposed to ultraviolet light, the chemical bond between the two oxygen atoms is broken. The extra oxygen atom bonds with an existing O2 molecule in the atmosphere, forming ozone (O3). Ozone is also formed from car exhaust, which contains nitric oxide (2NO), an unstable nitrogen and oxygen molecule.
