Brian Johnson's ozone blog



 Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ozone are all beneficial and harmful. Human and animals need oxygen to breathe but plants can die from too much oxygen. Plants need carbon dioxide to live though. The ozone protects us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays but surface ozone can cause health problems. Surface ozone is formed when (NOX) and (VOCs)  from cars and power plants are emitted. This is when nitrogen in the air Is burned from cars or power plants and Volatile Organic Compounds and Oxides of Nitrogen are released.  The sun’s rays cooks them and makes ground level ozone. Ozone can damage the lining of your lungs, aggravate asthma, make it harder to breathe, and irritate your respiratory system.
