Natural ozone (O 3 ) is present at high altitudes to protect us against toxic ultraviolet rays, but when this gas is on the ground (also called the troposphere ozone or bad ozone) it becomes a contaminant.

This is a toxic substance to living organisms and is a greenhouse effect when in the upper layer of the troposphere.

The surface ozone pollution is also a result of a relatively complicated mechanism, because this gas is not directly created by humans but is formed from the action of solar radiation and substances Other pollution such as nitrogen dioxide emitted from car smoke and volatile organic components.

The researchers confirmed in Nature that by the year 2100, ozone levels will be high enough to have a marked effect on plant growth, limiting the absorption of carbone (CO 2 ) dioxide by they are in the atmosphere.

Across the globe there are many areas of industrial waste that have increased the level of ozone on the ground. However, there is a complex balance between CO 2 and O 3 : carbone dioxide with high content can reduce the toxic effect of ozone by closing the breathing holes on the leaves, reducing the absorption collection of plants. But this will make the plant no longer play a role in pumping CO2.

Because of the measurement, the ozone gas on the ground also contributes to the increase in the climate that is warmer than the ozone gas in the troposphere causing the greenhouse effect.
