Ozone layer

Explanation:

The ozone layer found in the stratosphere is responsible for protecting the earth against harmful radiation.

In the lower atmosphere, the ozone is a pollutant and very harmful to life.

Ozone is an oxygen molecule made up of 3 atoms of oxygen covalently bonded to one another. It usually found in the ozone layer within the stratosphere just above the reaches of the troposphere. Ozone cuts off and absorb harmful ultraviolet rays emanating from the sun. This prevents the earth from being exposed to these solar bursts.

Ozone is not found in the air of the troposphere. Here, it will act as a pollutant.

Air is a mixture of many gases of which ozone is not a part of.
