OZONE

The Ozone is a form of oxygen that has three oxygen atoms in each molecule, instead of just two. The Ozone protects us from harmful rays from the sun. But on the negative side, the Ozone can make a chemical reaction of certain carbon compounds. And that would be a pollution. If humans are exposed to this compound, it could cause;breathing problems, asthma, and eye irritation.
Ozone depletion is where chemicals produced by humans damage the ozone layer.what happens when the Ozone layer is destroyed? Well the Ozone blocks out harmful UV rays. If the UV rays get to Earth, Then it could harm us.

"London Smog"

The "London Smog" was way back i the day when London had lots of coal burning. In London England, it is dark and dirty, from factories burning, and houses warmed by coal. This is caused by coal burning. The consequences are, sickness, and death. How to prevent this from happening the English people started burning less coal and now London air is much clearer, cleaner, and healthier than it was 100 years ago.
