Figure Ozone concentration by altitude in the atmosphere
Figure Percentage change in tropospheric ozone exposure 2010-2019
Outline two possible ways countries can reduce their tropospheric ozone exposure, as shown in Figure 2(b).
a. Increased investment into renewable technology/energy sources;
b. Stricter laws/taxes for vehicle/industry emissions of NOx & VOCs / Set/enforce stricter ozone air concentration standards;
c. Public policy initiative (e.g. don't drive days/vehicle bans/improved public transportation/promote biking etc.);
d. Technological improvements (e.g. catalytic convertors/scrubbers/electric vehicles);
e. Improve energy efficiency in buildings/appliances;
f. Promote sustainable agricultural practices that do not emit methane (a VOC);
g. Promote sustainable behaviour, like carpooling, reduced use of solvents/paints;
h. Planting trees/greening in cities reduces ozone levels;
