We have known that the ozone layer absorbs most of the sun's ultraviolet light, which is potentially damaging to life on earth. At the same time, we have heard that ozone pollution is pretty significant in urban areas like L.A. So ozone is good or bad? Please explain briefly.
ozone helps to protect life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun, particularly UVB radiation that can cause skin cancer and cataracts, damage crops, and destroy some types of marine life.
