Ozone medical terminology definition


Ozone is a gas. It can be good or bad, depending on where it is. “Good” ozone occurs naturally about 10 to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface. It shields us from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

This may increase the risk of skin cancer, cataracts and immune system problems.
