The ozone layer is not a shield, it is the remnant of UV radiation protection

ARTICLE: E. GENERALIC

Ozone does not have a shield that reflects ultraviolet radiation - it sacrifices itself for our protection. No matter how thick the ozone layer is it will simply disappear when illuminated. The ozone layer represents a "negative image" in terms of UV radiation protection. It is comprised of ozone molecules that UV photons did not hit and those that were not dissociated even though they were hit.

Story of ozone and ozone holes

ARTICLE: E. GENERALIC

The effect of ozone depends on how far away we are from it: it poisons us in the cities (photochemical smog), it heats us in the troposphere (greenhouse gas) and protects us in the stratosphere (ozone layer).
