An In-Depth Discussion By Brad Hunter Health Freedom News Vol. In these concentrations ozone is a powerful absorber of high frequency light radiation and it stops most of the Sun's ultra-violet rays.
Ozone occurs naturally around crashing surf, white water rapids, and lightning storms.
At ground level there is more oxygen than ozone, and as we rise up in our atmosphere the oxygen decreases and the ozone increases - hence, the beautiful blue sky we enjoy when we gaze up from planet Earth. It is the ozone that makes it blue. In order to measure hydrocarbon air pollution, an index is required. High levels of hydrocarbons have a corresponding ozone level measured in hundredths of a ppm, so by measuring the ozone, we know how bad the pollution is. The TV weather reporter doesn't tell you that ozone as a molecule only last 20 minutes maximum at ground level where it is busy cleaning up that pollution.
