Ozone at this level of the earth's atmosphere is generated by the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by oxygen (O2). In forming ozone, ultraviolet radiation of wavelengths between 290 and 320 manometers is absorbed and thus not allowed to reach the surface of the Earth. Concentrations of ozone are a few parts per million, variously estimated between 5 and 10 ppm (10:2127). Unstable ozone molecules are also constantly being created and destroyed by complex natural forces involving solar radiation and interactions with very minute quantities of other gases. Ozone concentrations fluctuate naturally on a daily, seasonal, and ..."
