Environmental pollution is the major problem in front of world now, there are various kind of sources which are responsible for pollution. The pollution can be defined as excess increase in pollutants and decrease in the quality of air called as pollution
Pollutants can be considered as any material which are affecting the environment and living organisms.
Classification of pollutants
Pollutants basically can be divided into 2 categories such as primary pollutant and secondary pollutant.
1) Primary pollutants: The pollutant which can cause adverse effect to environment, they are present in nature. For example: platic.
2) Secondary pollutant: The pollutants which are formed due to primary pollutant, such as nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon.
Causes of pollution:
1) Due to unlimited growth of human population.
2) Rapid industrialization
3) Uncontrolled use of vehicles.
The major pollutant we will discussed in this text is ozone.
Ozone: Ozone is commonly denoted as O3. It is usually present in upper layer of atmosphere. This gas provide protection from UV rays to earth, but when it enter on earth it serves as pollutant. Ozone have major toxic as well as drastic effects on earth to living organisms. The sources present on earth for ozone are industries and vehicle, companies. Ozone have worst effect on human, such as it is responsible for pneumonia, eyes itchiness, nasal cavity problems and severe exposure of ozone can also lead to cancer.

6.) What are types of ozone?
Answer: There are two types of ozone such as good ozone and bad ozone. The good form of ozone is present in stratosphere layer of atmosphere whereas bad ozone is present in troposphere that is depleting on earth called as green house gas. The ozone which is present on earth is harmful to human beings and all living organisms.
7.) What are the causes of ozone layer depletion?
Answer: Ozone have major toxic as well as drastic effects on earth to living organisms. The sources present on earth for ozone are industries and vehicle, companies. Ozone have worst effect on human, such as it is responsible for pneumonia, eyes itchiness, nasal cavity problems and severe exposure of ozone can also lead to cancer.
