ózontartalma

ózontartalma refers to the concentration of ozone (O3) in a particular area or substance. Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, distinct from the diatomic oxygen (O2) that we breathe. In the Earth's atmosphere, ozone plays a crucial role. Stratospheric ozone, found in the upper atmosphere, forms a protective layer that absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface. This ozone layer's thickness and concentration are vital for life on Earth.

Ground-level ozone, on the other hand, is considered a pollutant. It forms when pollutants released from vehicles, factories, and other sources react with sunlight. High concentrations of ground-level ozone can harm human health, causing respiratory problems, and can also damage vegetation and ecosystems. Therefore, monitoring and understanding ózóntartalma at different altitudes and locations is important for environmental and health assessments. Levels of ózóntartalma are often measured in parts per billion (ppb) or Dobson units, the latter being a standard measure for the total ozone column in the atmosphere. Changes in ózóntartalma can indicate atmospheric pollution, ozone depletion, or the effectiveness of air quality control measures.
