Our planet mother Earth, is created with many things to make things as what we are to feed us , create us , and provide for us, but like anything else in the universe there are bad things that come to haunt us. Earth haves those things called the ozone layers. At first they were there to protect us, but with human and technology it is doing the opposite and the layer that suppose to protecting us from the U.V.A rays is slowly disappearing, but there is still hope. The people of Earth are changing their ways making life and things better for Earth to continue protecting. Like anything we must understand what is our main probkem now which is ground level which will be called the surface Ozone.
Surface Ozone is not emitted to the air directly, but is created by chemical reactions between oxides, nitrogen and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. It forms by the emission from industrial facilities and electric utilities, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents.
It screens out the most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, but also irritates the respiratory tact and eyes. The result in chest tightness, coughing and wheezing to humans. For the ecosystem, it creates a loss of species diversity and changes to habitat quality, water and nutrient cycles.
BUT it does creates asthma and frequently asthma attack. Creates chest pain, coughing, throat irritation and congestion. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. It can also reduce lung function and inflame the linings of the lungs.
Great post Jasmine. I really liked the pictures.
