Ozone Defined
The following is in context to Ozone, because it's common for a single word to have multiple meanings you will find additional research links near the bottom of the page.
"A form of oxygen that has three atoms, rather than the more common oxygen molecule’s two atoms. Ozone is produced naturally, by the energy in sunlight acting on oxygen molecules in the air, and by industrial and automotive processes. Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs most of the short-wave light from the sun that would otherwise reach the earth’s surface, protecting life on the surface from dangerous ultraviolet radiation. Ozone in the troposphere, on the other hand, is considered a pollutant; it can damage living tissue and break down certain materials, and it contributes to climate change."
