  1. Tropospheric (high altitude) ozone absorbs dangerous UV radiation from the Sun. With out this ozone UV levels at ground level would be dangerously high. Ozone in the atmosphere is depleted over the polar regions, especially the South Pole. As a result Australia and several other Southern hemisphere countries ( and Northern hemisphere countries for that matter) have seen big rises in skin cancer.

    Ozone is also toxic and can be used as a disinfectant. It may be used as an alternative to chlorine to disinfect water for drinking purposes or at a sweage works.

    Chemically ozone 'attacks' contaminants in water (iron, arsenic, hydrogen sulfide, nitrites, and complex organics).

    Ozone is a major gas in the formation of photochemical smog.

  2. SOLAR FLARES (ALLOW THE MAGNETIC FIELD TO DIVERT THEM), METEORITES (BURNS UP MOST LARGE ONE TO SMALLER THAN BASEBALL SIZE), AND A THIRD JUST BECAUSE, HARMFUL RAYS FROM THE SUN

  3. Think about it, What would happen is the UV rays from the sun hit us directly? What does ozone do to protect us? Hope this helps.
