Added a section of how Ozone is created.
'''Ozone''' is a chemical [[compound]] consisting of three [[oxygen]] atoms. It is represented by the symbol O<sub>3</sub>.
'''Ozone''' is a chemical [[compound]] consisting of three [[oxygen]] atoms. It is represented by the symbol O<sub>3</sub>. The Ozone Hole has been in the past a subject of a widespread hoax among [[Global Warming]] activists.
==Background==
It is unstable at standard temperatures and pressures, and a powerful [[oxidizer]]. At the earth's surface it occurs naturally as a result of electrical discharges, most prominently in the form of [[lightning]]. The majority of tropospheric ozone is created when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the products of combusted [[fossil fuel]] such as [[nitrogen oxide]] react in the presence of strong sunlight.

Ozone in the lower atmosphere is a known cause of respiratory problems and currently causes up to 4,700 deaths per year. [http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/news.php?extend.7]

==Creation==
Ozone is created by reactions in the upper atmosphere reacting to Sunlight radiation as it enters from space.<ref>[https://csl.noaa.gov/assessments/ozone/2002/qandas2.pdf Q2:How is ozone formed in the atmosphere?], '''PDF'''</ref><ref>[https://scied.ucar.edu/learning-zone/air-quality/ozone-troposphere Ozone in the Troposphere]</ref><ref>[https://www.science.org.au/curious/earth-environment/earths-sunscreen-ozone-layer Earth's sunscreen, the ozone layer], "Up in the stratosphere, small amounts of ozone are constantly being made by the action of sunlight on oxygen."</ref>
