Which statement correctly compares the ozone found in the troposphere to the ozone found in the stratosphere?
Ozone found in the troposphere filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation, while ozone In the stratosphere is considered to be a pollutant with negative health effects.
Ozone found in both the troposphere and the stratosphere filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Ozone in the troposphere is considered to be a pollutant with negative health effects, while ozone found in the stratosphere filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation.
