David Suzuki Foundation: Climate Change : Air Pollution
Whereas stratospheric ozone (the "ozone layer") protects plants and animals from ultraviolet radiation, ground level ozone is a primary ingredient of smog. Higher temperatures increase ground level ozone production - thus climate change will intensify urban smog. Ozone is toxic at low concentrations and deadly at high concentrations. It bursts cell membranes ...
