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.
Most of the remaining ozone occurs in the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere that extends from Earthâs surface up to the stratosphere. Near-surface ozone often results from interactions between certain pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds), strong sunlight, and hot weather.
