Here is the explanation from the article that contradicts its title:
Ozone forms when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by some vegetation, vehicles and chemical industries react with nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are emitted mostly by traffic and industry. A series of reactions between these compounds in the presence of sunlight causes ozone to form. Breathing in ozone can inflame or damage the airways, causing breathing difficulties, particularly in people with asthma or lung disease.
Here is the explanation from the article that contradicts its title:
Oh noooooo not ozone there’s definitely nothing worse going into the atmosphere than that
It’s not about the atmosphere, it’s about it being at ground level and humans breathing it.
