Investigating Ozone

Ozone in the upper atmosphere is a crucial shield of UV, but ozone at surface levels is a respiratory irritant and health hazard.

Students investigate surface-level ozone concentrations in the air around Liverpool, NSW, using descriptive statistical analysis, a univariate analysis and a bivariate analysis to explore the data. Students also investigate the relationship between ozone concentration and certain pollutant gases, as well as the effect of temperature.
