Definition of ozone in English:

ozone

noun ˈəʊzəʊnˈoʊˌzoʊn

mass noun

1A colourless unstable toxic gas with a pungent odour and powerful oxidizing properties, formed from oxygen by electrical discharges or ultraviolet light. It differs from normal oxygen (O₂) in having three atoms in its molecule (O₃).
臭氧（O₃）
Example sentencesExamples

- Already used to control bacteria in some pools and aquariums, ozone gas causes oxidizing reactions that damage tissue.
- Your lungs may be exposed to pollutants such as ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and sulfuric acid.
- The sunlight splits the chlorine into highly reactive ions that break ozone down into normal oxygen molecules.
- Nitrogen Oxides, primarily from automobile exhaust, ramp up ozone production to toxic levels.
- Water vapour, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, nitrous oxide, and the chlorofluorocarbons are known as Greenhouse Gases.
- Even though it's made of only three little molecules of oxygen, ozone can be a pretty big topic.
- Carbon monoxide is not only a hazardous air pollutant itself, it is also a chemical compound that produces ozone, a greenhouse gas that is a human health hazard.
- The city is constantly bathed in a visible haze of harmful pollutants: Sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and smoke.
- Although CO2 is by far the most well known green house gas, we humans also produce others in the form of methane, CFC's, ozone and nitrous oxide.
- The mean temperature of the earth's surface is about 33°C warmer than it would be in the absence of natural greenhouse gases such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
- Recent experiments have begun identifying oxidizing gases, such as ozone and molecules containing the halogens bromine and chlorine, as triggers for that mercury fallout.
- Public water systems treat water with chlorine, ultraviolet light or ozone to kill E. coli.
- Adding that third oxygen atom makes ozone a very pushy and highly obnoxious little molecule.
- Automotive emissions are a major source of ozone and carbon monoxide pollution.
- The four usual agents of deterioration in the air apart from oxygen and water are sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, ozone and nitrogen dioxide.
- For example, plant tissues challenged with acutely toxic levels of ozone rapidly produce a burst of ethylene.
- Biofuels, such as ethanol, can reduce carbon dioxide, ozone formation and carbon monoxide by as much as 90 percent.

  Also, the presence of stratospheric ozone sandwiched between the satellite and the troposphere makes seeing tropospheric ozone very difficult.
  Recent changes in surface UV solar radiation and stratospheric ozone have also been reported at a high Arctic site, although it is still too early to make trend estimates.
  Acid rain, stratospheric ozone depletion, and climate change are major regional or global problems arising from atmospheric pollution.
  Researchers analyzed data from several sources, and found a strong correlation between cosmic ray intensity and ozone depletion.
  Between 1980 and 2000, the protective ozone in the stratosphere, about 10 to 30 miles high, decreased 3 percent.
  The exhaust gases that these cars produce are very harmful to the environment, causing a variety of ecological problems such as ozone depletion and global warming.

  This story is too far fetched, because a hole in the ozone in Antartica would generate so much heat, that Antartica would be a tropical forest, or a fiery wasteland!
  Research published in 1994 suggests that increased ultraviolet radiation caused by stratospheric ozone depletion may be killing frog eggs.
  The ozone hole still contains ozone, just at extremely low levels compared with the surrounding stratosphere.
  So, as we learn more about stratospheric ozone and climate change, what were once two separate problems have become more and more entwined.
  Standard vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, relative humidity and ozone density are selected, according to the U.S. Standard Atmosphere.
  In the upper atmosphere, or the stratosphere, ozone is very good, as it acts as a shield to protect life on Earth from harmful Ultraviolet sunlight.
2British informal Fresh invigorating air, especially that blowing on to the shore from the sea.
〈非正式〉（尤指海风吹到海滨来的）清新空气
Example sentencesExamples
- The rain had taken the city's baseline odor of fear and body fluids and replaced it with fresh, sweet-smelling ozone.

Derivatives

ozonic

adjective əʊˈzɒnɪkoʊˈzɑnɪk

The invention relates to a method of disinfecting seed, wherein the seed is treated with ozonic gas.
Example sentencesExamples
- Use ozonic water in the spray bottle, and spray it onto the blankets, bed, clothes every morning!

Origin

Mid 19th century: from German Ozon, from Greek ozein 'to smell'.

Today the usual association of ozone is with the ozone layer, a layer in the earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth from the sun, and which is under threat from atmospheric pollutants. Ozone is a strong-smelling, poisonous form of oxygen whose name goes back to Greek ozein ‘to smell’. It was originally believed to have a tonic effect and to be present in fresh air, especially at the seaside. In Penelope Mortimer's autobiographical About Time (1987) she writes: ‘An important part of our middle-class Englishness was the seaside holiday—no baking on a Mediterranean beach, but lungfuls of ozone, gales, hard sand.’
