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.
The ozone layer is a region in bottom of the stratosphere called the tropopause, where ozone concentrations naturally are on the order of 10 ppm. The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation that other gases do not, and acts as a mild sort of heat blanket between us, the Sun, and the 3 K cold of space.
