Preferred term

ozone  

Definition

  • [Henderson's] n. O3, gas formed from oxygen (O2) under the action of short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere, where it forms the ozone layer. This ab­sorbs considerable solar ultraviolet radia­tion and shields the Earth’s surface from its harmful effects. Ozone is also formed as a pollutant in the lower atmosphere from e.g. nitrogen oxides. It is damaging to herbaceous plants at levels greater than 100 parts per billion.
