Similar words: zone, amazon, blazon, horizon, emblazon, zonation, comfort zone, buffer zone. Meaning: ['əʊzəʊn] n. a colorless gas (O3) soluble in alkalis and cold water; a strong oxidizing agent; can be produced by electric discharge in oxygen or by the action of ultraviolet radiation on oxygen in the stratosphere (where it acts as a screen for ultraviolet radiation).

75 However, ozone also participates in complex chemical reactions involving trace substances in the stratosphere.
76 Hydrocarbons also contribute both to acid rain and to ozone formation.
77 When agitated, liquid ozone reorganizes into oxygen molecules with the release of sufficient heat to vaporize all the liquid.
78 But they are thought to destroy the ozone layer, which protects the earth from the sun's rays.
79 The plan also provided for measures to protect endangered species, protect the ozone layer and increase energy conservation.
