👉 Ozone engineering refers to the deliberate manipulation of atmospheric conditions to enhance or mitigate the formation and distribution of ozone, a critical component of the Earth's stratospheric ozone layer. This can involve techniques such as injecting ozone or its precursors into the atmosphere to increase its concentration, which helps protect the planet from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Alternatively, it can include methods to reduce ozone-depleting substances or to promote natural processes that break down ozone pollutants. Ozone engineering is a complex field that balances environmental benefits with potential risks, requiring careful scientific assessment and international cooperation to ensure it does not inadvertently harm other atmospheric components or ecosystems.
