Ozone is a type of gas. Its molecules are made of three oxygen atoms stuck together, instead of the usual two. High up in the sky, a thin layer of ozone protects us from the sun's harmful rays — people call this "the ozone layer." Near the ground, ozone is actually a kind of pollution and can be bad for our lungs. People also say the air by the sea smells "of ozone," meaning fresh and salty — though what they smell is not really ozone at all.
臭氧(臭氧層 = ozone layer)
組成From a Greek word meaning "to smell" — ozone has a sharp smell, and that is how it got its name.
