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.
