Ozone is a form of oxygen. But unlike oxygen (O₂), ozone (O₃) is not a stable gas. Ozone is highly reactive and unstable - corrosive and capable of damaging living cells. Ozone consists of three oxygen atoms. Ground-level ozone can be harmful at high concentrations and is a regulated pollutant. NOTE: Ozone occurs naturally in the Earth’s upper atmosphere (stratosphere). It protects life on Earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This is the good ozone. Good Up High, Bad Nearby
