• What is ozone? North Texas Council of Governments
The council of governments defines ozone as a gas formed in the atmosphere when three oxygen atoms combine. The gas is found in the stratosphere — the second-lowest layer of the earth’s atmosphere — and near the surface. Ground-level ozone, which poses health risks, forms when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds are released in the air and mix in sunlight. High concentrations of ozone are mostly prevalent in the summer.
