1 Ozone

2 Three sources of pollutant
Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions Power plants Chemical solvents

3 Indoor or outdoor pollutant
Normal substance in the atmosphere but a pollutant at ground level. Prevalent in air as other polluntants react with sunlight Indoor pollution from ozone is less than 50% of that found in ambient air

4 Primary or secondary polluntant
It is a secondary polluntant. Forms when other pollutants react with sunlight.

5 Human health effects Short term exposure can effect the lungs, the eyes, and even increase susceptibility to allergens Long term exposure can reduce lung function.

6 Environmental effects
Ozone affects sensitive vegetation and ecosystems, including forests, parks, wildlife refuges and wilderness areas. In particular, ozone harms sensitive vegetation during the growing season.

7 Prevention/reduction techniques
EPA’s national and regional rules to reduce emissions of pollutants that form ground level ozone will help state and local governments meet the Agency’s national air quality standards.
