2.臭氧How OzonePollution WorksAThe weatherreport onthe radioor TVtells youthat it is goingtobesunny andhot andthat anorange ozonealert hasbeenissued.What isozone Whatdoes anorange alertmean Whyshould yoube concernedabout itIn thisarticle,wewill examinewhat ozone is,how itis produced,what healthhazards itposes andwhat you can doto reduceozonepollution.B Ozone isamolecule ofthree oxygen atoms boundtogether

03.It isunstable andhighly reactive.Ozone isused asableach,a deodorizingagent,andasterilization agentfor airand drinkingwater.At lowconcentrations,itistoxic.Ozoneis foundnaturally insmall concentrationsinthe stratosphere,a layer of Earths upperatmosphere.In thisupperatmosphere,ozone ismade whenultraviolet lightfromthe sun splitsan oxygen molecule02,forming twosingle oxygenatoms.If afreed atomcollides withan oxygen molecule,it becomesozone.Stratospheric ozonehasbeencalled“good”ozone because it protectsthe Earths surfacefrom dangerousultraviolet light.C Ozonecan alsobe foundinthetroposphere,the lowestlayer ofthe atmosphere.Tropospheric ozoneoften termed“bad”ozone isman-made,a resultof air pollution frominternal combustionengines andpower plants.Automobileexhaust andindustrial emissionsrelease afamily ofnitrogen oxidegases NOx and volatileorganic compoundsVOC,by-products ofburning gasolineand coal.NOxandVOC combinechemically withoxygen toform ozoneduring sunny,high-temperature conditionsof latespring,summer and early fall.High levels of ozoneare usuallyformed inthe heatofthe afternoonand earlyevening,dissipating duringthe coolernights.D Althoughozone pollutionis formedmainly inurban andsuburban areas,it endsup inrural areasas well,carried byprevailingwinds orresulting fromcars andtrucks thattravel intorural areas.Significant levelsof ozone pollution canbedetected inrural areasas faras250miles downwindfrom urbanindustrial zones.E You can make ozone test strips todetect andmonitor ozone levels in your ownbackyard oraround yourschool.Youwill needcorn starch,filter papercoffee filterswork welland potassium iodide canbe orderedfrom ascience educationsuppliersuch asCarolina BiologicalSupply orFisher Scientific.Basically,you makea pastefrom water,corn starchandpotassium-iodide,and youpaint thispaste onstrips offilter paper.You thenexpose thestrips tothe airfor eighthours.Ozone inthe airwill react with thepotassiumiodideto changethe colorofthestrip.You willalso needto knowtherelative humidity,which youcan getfrom anewspaper,weather broadcastor homeweather station.F Whenyou inhaleozone,it travelsthroughout your respiratory tract.Because ozone is verycorrosive,it damagesthebronchioles andalveoli in your lungs,air sacsthat areimportant forgas exchange.Repeated exposureto ozone caninflame lung tissues andcause respiratoryinfections.G Ozoneexposure canaggravate existingrespiratory conditionssuch asasthma,reduce yourlung functionand capacityforexercise andcause chestpains andcoughing.Young children,adults whoare activeoutdoors andpeople withrespiratorydiseases aremost susceptibletothehigh levelsof ozoneencountered duringthe summer.In additionto effectsonhumans,the corrosivenature of ozonecandamage plantsand trees.High levelsof ozonecan destroyagricultural cropsandforest vegetation.H Toprotect yourselffrom ozone exposure,you shouldbe awareofthe Air Quality Index AQIin yourarea everyday——youcanusually findit inthe newspaperor ona morningweather forecaston TVor radio.You shouldalso befamiliarwiththeU.S.Environmental ProtectionAgency EPAguide forozone-alert values.I Whatdo thenumbers inthe AQImean TheAQI measuresconcentrations offive air pollutants:ozone,sulfur dioxide,particulate matter,carbon monoxideand nitrogendioxide.The EPAhas chosenthese pollutantsas criteriapollutants,butthese arenot all ofthepollutants inthe air.These concentrationsare comparedtoastandard setout infederal law.Anindex valueof100means thatallofthe criteriapollutants areatthemaximum levelthat isconsidered safeforthemajorityof thepopulation.To reduceyour exposureto ozone,you shouldavoid exercisingduring afternoonandearlyeveninghours inthe summer.J There are severalways youcan helpto decreaseozone pollution.Limit usingyour automobileduring afternoonandearly eveninghours inthe latespring,summer andearly fall.Do notuse gasoline-powered lawnequipment duringthesetimes.Do notfuel yourcar duringthese times.Do notlight firesor outdoorgrills duringthese times.Keep theengine ofyourcar orboat tuned.Make surethat yourtires areproperly inflated.Use environmentallysafe paints,cleaning andofficeproducts someof thesechemicals aresources ofVOC.K Besidespersonal attemptsto reduceozone pollution,the EPAhas initiatedmore stringentair-quality standardssuchas theClean AirAct andits modificationstoreduceairpollution.Compliance withthese standardsby industries,manufacturers andstate andlocal governmentshas significantlyreduced thelevelsofmany commonairpollutants.L Withcontinued conservationand reductionpractices,adherence to ozone-pollution warnings,research andgovernmentregulation,ozone-pollution levelsshould continueto fall.Perhaps futuregenerations willnotbethreatenedby thisenvironmental pollutant.M Thething thatdetermines whetherozoneisgood orbad isits location.Ozone isgood”,when itis inthe stratosphere.The stratosphereisalayerofthe atmospherestarting atthelevelof about6miles about10kilometers abovesea level.The stratospherenaturally containsabout sixparts permillion ofozone,and thisozoneisvery beneficialbecause itabsorbs UV radiation and preventsitfromreaching us.N Ozone is badwhen itis at ground level.Ozoneisa veryreactive gasthat ishard onlungtissue.It alsodamagesplants andbuildings.Any ozone at ground level isa problem.Unfortunately,chemicals incar exhaustand chemicalsproducedby someindustries reactwith light toproducelots ofozoneatgroundlevel.In cities,the ozonelevel canrise toapoint whereit becomeshazardous toour health.That swhen youhear aboutan ozonewarning onthe news.

36.When ultravioletrays fromthesunseparate anoxygenmoleculeinto twosingle oxygenatoms inthestratosphere,thecombination ofasingleoxygenatomand anoxygenmoleculeforms ozone.B

37.Youcanmakeozoneteststripsby yourselfto findout aboutozonelevelsinyourown locale.E

40.Internal combustionengines andpower plantscause theartificial troposphericozone,alsoknownas“bad”ozone.C

41.Ozoneisvery helpfulbecauseitabsorbsUVradiationandseparates usfrom it.M
