What Does OZ Stand For?
OZ stands for Ozone
OZ, an abbreviation for ozone, refers to a triatomic molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (O3). It occurs naturally in the Earth's stratosphere, where it forms the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. Ozone also exists at ground level as a result of industrial pollution and vehicle emissions, where it can contribute to air quality issues. Understanding the dual role of ozone in the atmosphere is crucial for environmental science and public health.
