1 day ago · Ozone in the ozone layer filters out sunlight wavelengths from about 200 nm UV rays to 315 nm, with ozone peak absorption at about 250 nm. This ozone UV absorption is important to life, since it extends the absorption of UV by ordinary oxygen and nitrogen in air (which absorb all wavelengths < 200 nm) through the lower UV-C (200 ...
May 20, 2024 · Short-term exposure to high levels of ozone can result in throat irritation, coughing, and shortness of breath, particularly prevalent in areas with high outdoor pollution or inside buildings using ozone-generating devices. Long-term exposure, on the other hand, can lead to more severe conditions such as asthma and bronchitis.
May 9, 2024 · This paper highlights the potential of exhalation metabolomics as a novel approach to investigate the respiratory health impacts of ozone pollution. By analyzing exhaled breath metabolites, we can gain insights into the biological responses triggered by ozone exposure.
May 10, 2024 · Last updated on May 10, 2024. Known as tropospheric or "ground-level" ozone, this gas is harmful to human heath and the environment. Since it forms from emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), these pollutants are regulated under air quality standards.
May 10, 2024 · Recommendations for Action. We need action at every level to clean up air pollution and address climate change. We Need Stronger Ozone Limits. EPA recently finalized several new measures to make our air safer to breathe. Now, join the American Lung Association in urging them to set a stronger ozone standard, too. Take Action. Federal Government.
