Basics
- A form of the element Oxygen with 3 Oxygen atoms bonded together
- Found naturally in the high atmosphere or by electronic discharges (like lightning) on earth
- Unstable
Effects
- Solar Radiation Sheilding (Due to Ozone Cycle in the Ozone Layer)
- Greenhouse Gas (Very weird to measure due to sporadic production + inherant instability)
- Possible Negative Health Consequences from High Concentration or Long Doses (like urban pollution sources etc)
- Depolymmerization
Uses
- Sterilization (Of water, of a gas stream/ac stream, of a used hospital room prior to reuse)
- Ozone removes heavy metals from water - [1]
