Ecology is the field of Biology that studies the relationship between living beings and between living beings and the environment.
What is Ecology?
100
is the contamination of an ecosystem by factors that are harmful for the equilibrium of its biotic or abiotic constituents.
What is pollution?

Ozone, O3, is a gas of the atmosphere that filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun disallowing most of that radiation from reaching the surface of the planet.
What is the role of the ozone layer for living beings?
