Precursor concentration and solar radiation intensity determine the dynamic equilibrium between ozone creation and destruction. Tropospheric ozone is a dangerous pollutant that can lead to a number of health problems as well as environmental difficulties. In contrast, stratospheric ozone creates a protective ozone layer. Exposure to high levels of tropospheric ozone can cause a range of respiratory problems, including coughing, throat irritation, and worsening of asthma symptoms. Long-term exposure can lead to more severe health issues such as chronic respiratory diseases, reduced lung function, and increased mortality rates. Children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of ozone. Ground-level ozone can also damage flora, which can result in decreased agricultural production, damage to forests, and a decline in biodiversity. It prevents plants from photosynthesizing, which slows down their growth and increases their vulnerability to pests, illnesses, and harsh weather condition.
