Concluding Thoughts. Ozone is found in two different layers of the atmosphere-the troposphere and the stratosphere. The stratospheric ozone, or good ozone, protects life on earth from harmful effects of the sun's UV rays. We have good reason to be concerned about the thinning of the ozone layer in the stratosphere.
Ozone has the same chemical structure whether it is found in the stratosphere or troposphere. 1  Ozone is a form of oxygen. 2  Ozone is unstable and will readily combine with other atoms.  Ozone is found in the stratosphere, where it blocks the sun's ultraviolet (UV) waves and prevents them from reaching the earth's surface.
