Tropospheric ozone (O3)  is a concerning pollutant, responsible for reduction in yields of major staple crops like rice, ...

The troposphere comprises the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, stretching from the planet's surface to a little over eight miles into the sky. It also contains about 10% of the ozone in the ...

“Tropospheric ozone is an air pollutant,” Liu said. “If we reduce our production of this, we get the dual benefits of less air pollution and most likely, less Southern Ocean warming as well.” ...

Ozone pollution has increased across the Northern Hemisphere over the past 20 years, researchers have found in a new study, the first to use ozone data collected by commercial aircraft.

Ground-level ozone is a common air pollutant that can be harmful to human health. The pollutant forms when certain organic compounds interact with sunlight and intense heat. Between May and ...

Tropospheric ozone, or the ground-level ozone that is consumed each day, is responsible for smog, with higher concentrations being common throughout the summer or hotter months. Health risks ...

We know how they should be distributed. But there’s also the capability to measure nitrogen dioxide and NO2, and that’s a precursor to tropospheric ozone formation.

At the invitation of the City College of New York, researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory recently participated in the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study, or LISTOS.

Rice, wheat, and maize are the most important staple crops in the world and account for 60% of the world's food energy. Researchers have, however, ...
