Abstract

The map shows the values of SOMO35 sum of ozone means over 35 parts per billion (μg/m³/d), which is the new indicator recommended by the WHO for health impact assessment.
Ozone is a molecule present in the lower part of the atmosphere and causes damage to human health and to vegetation. Ground level ozone is a secondary pollutant mainly formed in conditions of intense insolation by complex chemical reactions among precursor gases like e.g. nitrogen oxide and the oxygen in the air. For this reason, ozone values show a characteristic course during the year and during the day with high values in periods of high insolation (summer, noon and afternoon) and lower values in wintertime.
