Ozone Emission Sources. Emissions contributing to ozone formation come from many areas. The main emission sources categories are: On-road - cars, trucks, and buses. Off-road - aircraft, locomotive,etc. Non-road - construction, agricultural equipment, etc. Point - cement and power plants.
Ozone is produced naturally in the stratosphere. But this good ozone is gradually being destroyed by man-made chemicals referred to as ozone-depleting substances (ODS), including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), halons, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform.
