Air Quality Initiatives Assignment - ozone

Description of ozone :
An ozone is trioxygen,  which consists 3 oxygen atoms. Ozone in the lower atmosphere is an air pollutant with harmful effects on animals. The upper ozone layer prevents damaging of electromagnetic radiation from reaching the earth's surface. There's good and bad ozone.

What are they doing?

1. Don't use foam plastic insulation in your house.
2. Make sure  your car's air conditioner is carefully serviced.
3. When your buying a refrigerator, you can choose an energy efficient model. Also get rid/dispose old refrigerators.
4. People don't use methyl bromide.
5. You can be  "ozone friendly" by, buying products that say "ozone friendly"

Why:

The ozone layer filters out UV rays from the sun and protects all life on earth. So, they are doing this so we can be protected from skin cancer, cataracts and weakened immune systems. It also is dangerous to people that have asthma. While children are outside playing in the summer, can develop breathing difficulties.

Opinion:

I think its good that the ozone has UV rays and gives us heat, but at times it could be pretty bad, because of the ozone it gives you many less oportunities for things. Such as: limits time to go outside, when outside need to have lots of water and put on sun screen, and you cannot push yourself too physically while outside. The ozone is also good because it protects life on earth by absorbing UV rays from the sun.
