Ozone pollution and historical trends of surface background ozone level: a review

A literature survey was conducted to review the historical ozone data from background stations around the world to characterize background ozone levels and trends while also determining the reasons underlying such trends. Ozone pollution is regarded as a great concern nowadays because of its potenti...
