Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ozone in the stratosphere protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and is therefore often called ‘good’ ozone. This is in contrast to ozone in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where it is an air pollutant and can be harmful to humans, animals and vegetation.
Detailed explanation-2: -It absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation (UV-B), limiting the amount of this radiation that reaches the surface of the Earth. Because this radiation causes skin cancer and cataracts, the ozone layer plays an important role in protecting human health.
