Abstract
The triatomic form of oxygen, ozone (O3), is present in both the stratosphere (10–15 km above the Earth’s surface) and the troposphere (0–10 km altitude). In the stratosphere, ozone plays an important role in protecting the biosphere by absorbing harmful UV-B radiation (wavelength 240–320 nm) from the sun. In the surface layers of the troposphere, on the other hand, ozone is an important air pollutant that can affect plant metabolism and cause visible symptoms in plant foliage (Lefohn 1992).
