In which of the following layer of atmosphere there is more thickness of ozone:
Correct answer: B. Stratosphere
- A. Troposphere
- B. Stratosphere
- C. Mesosphere
- D. Thermosphere
Explanation
Ozone, O3, is a gas having low boiling point. It is present in small concentrations throughout the atmosphere.The amount of ozone in the atmosphere is expressed in Dobson units (DU). The normal amount of overhead ozone is about 350 DU. The ozone layer, 25 - 28 km high, in the stratosphere surrounds the globe and filters most of the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays in the sunlight before they could reach on the earth.

About Environmental Chemistry
Atmospheric pollution includes smog, acid rain, greenhouse gases, ozone depletion and the effects of carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Water pollution covers sewage, industrial waste, eutrophication and treatment stages, while green chemistry focuses on reducing hazardous substances, waste and energy use through safer, more efficient processes.
