what is ozone and how does it affect your health
What are some of the health effects from exposure to ozone? Ozone is very harmful to the lungs. Exposure to ozone can make breathing difficult, inflame the lungs and lining of the respiratory tract, lead to permanent lung damage, and make it harder for the body to fight respiratory diseases. Symptoms to watch for include coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness/chest pain.
Ozone is a gas that occurs both in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level. Ozone can be good or bad for your health and the environment, depending on its location in the atmosphere.
