Ozone has very different effects, depending on where it is found. In the upper atmosphere (stratosphere), ozone shields us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, but high concentrations of ozone near the earth's surface (ground-level or tropospheric) is toxic to lungs and hearts and can trigger a variety of health issues.
New artificial intelligence system could lead to improved ways to control high ozone problems Ozone levels in the earth's troposphere (the lowest level of our atmosphere) can now be forecasted with accuracy up to two weeks in advance, a remarkable improvement over current systems that can accurately predict ozone levels only three days ahead. The new artificial intelligence system developed in the University of Houston's Air Quality Forecasting and Modeling Lab could lead to improved ways to control high ozone problems and even contribute to solutions for climate change issues. This was very ...
