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.
These tropospheric gases include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), sulfur dioxide (SO 2), and tropospheric (ground level) ozone (O 3). Tropospheric ozone is formed by two precursor pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NO x) in the presence of ultraviolet light (sunlight).
