Good atmospheric ozone is found in the stratosphere and helps protect Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by absorbing and scattering them. This ozone is beneficial for the environment and human health. Bad atmospheric ozone, also known as ground-level ozone, is found in the troposphere and is a major component of smog. It is harmful to human health and can cause respiratory issues, exacerbate asthma, and damage crops and vegetation. Good ozone is distributed in the stratosphere, while bad ozone is found in the troposphere, closer to the Earth's surface.
