What is ozone pollution? What is the harm to human beings? How to prevent it?

Because of its strong oxidation, ozone near the ground is a harmful gas and may even become a "health killer". If the ozone concentration in the air is too high, it will easily cause upper respiratory tract inflammation, cough, headache and other symptoms, and it will also stimulate the skin, eyes and nasal mucosa.

Green travel is the key. If you choose a green and low-carbon mode of travel, driving one day less will reduce pollution emissions. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. When using air conditioners, 1℃ can be increased on the basis of 26℃ advocated by the state, and certain pollution emissions can be reduced. Participate in the supervision of enterprise leakage and abnormal emission of automobile exhaust.

Extended data

Causes of ozone hole formation:

Foam, hair gel, fire extinguishing agent, insecticide and refrigerant are widely used in human life, and the use of these products will produce chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

Once the chlorofluorocarbon gas is released, it will slowly rise to the top of the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere. There, ultraviolet rays will decompose chlorine atoms in chlorofluorocarbon gas, and chlorine atoms will take away an oxygen molecule in ozone, turning ozone into oxygen, thus making it lose its ability to absorb ultraviolet rays.

Nitrogen oxides emitted by civil aviation and military aircraft flying in the tropopause are also catalysts for destroying the ozone layer. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture will produce a large number of nitrogen oxides, and the combustion of various fuels will also produce a large number of nitrogen oxides, which are all factors that destroy the ozone layer.
