Surface ozone is known as troposphere ozone, i.e. the ozone found in the troposphere is called the surface ozone. Surface ozone is formed by the oxidation of VOC, methane and carbon monoxide in the presence of nitrogen oxide.
Why is superficial ozone considered to be harmful to environment and human health?
Surface ozone is quite harmful to the environment because it is capable of destroying some vegetation. This can lead to serious crisis for biodiversity.
It is very dangerous for moisture present in the land. Lack of moisture in the soil can reduce its fertility. This can have a negative impact on food security.
Surface ozone can meet other present toxic compounds to produce more dangerous toxic compounds.
Similarly, surface ozone has the ability to cause untimely death, asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases. It is clear from this that it has the power to severely harm human health.
Due to its ability to seriously harm human health, it promotes the expenditure of people, which they face financial loss.
Above all, it also affects demographic dividends negatively because the benefits of demographic dividend can be taken in the same position as the office is healthy.
What steps need to be taken to control surface ozone?
Pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide are given more attention while surface ozone is ignored. Policymakers also have to pay equal attention to surface ozone.
New technology should be developed to measure surface ozone. The prevailing air quality index in India is not capable of measuring surface ozone.
Controlling polluters related to ozone degradation with a strong political will at the national level must be established.
Surface ozone can be controlled by applying the commitment set by the Paris Climate Agreement and by focusing on renewable energy sources.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded that surface ozone is a dangerous pollutant which is harmful to the environment as well as to human health. Proper control over this can be established by following the above mentioned measures.
