AB - High average ozone concentrations near ground are typical of
places with efficient air exchange to higher atmospheric layers,
e.g. health resorts with favorable climate and little
anthropogenic air contamination. Warning about harmful effects of
ozone may be misleading unless its role as a natural component of
the air is considered. Distinguishing between clean air ozone
in contrast to smog ozone is helpful for an understanding of
the problem. For lack of quantitative surveys, tolerance limits
for ozone had to be set without regard for interactions with
other harmful air constituents and for adaptation effects.
