The
purpose
of
this
activity
is
to
measure
ozone
concentrations
at
ground
level.
Students
deploy
a
strip
of
paper
that
changes
color
in
the
presence
of
ozone.
They
use
an
ozone
reader
to
determine
the
amount
of
ozone
in
ppb
as
indicated
by
the
color
change
of
the
paper
strip.
Intended
outcomes
are
that
students
will
learn
to
measure
the
concentrations
of
ground-level
ozone
in
the
atmosphere
and
to
...

The
Why
Files
examines
the
latest
research
and
the
debate
on
air
pollution
and
health.
The
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA)
has
proposed
regulations
under
the
Clean
Air
Act
for
ground-level
ozone
and
fine
particulates,
pollutants
which
have
been
linked
to
lung
disease
and
early
deaths.
Some
researchers
are
convinced
that
fine
particles
are
causing
the
disease
and
deaths;
others
don't
