Title: Where can I find significant levels of ozone in an urban area?
Post by: oaheakea on Oct 7, 2012
Where can I find significant levels of ozone in an urban area?
I am using a Schoenbein strip and it should be kept out of direct light (reflective light, only)
I need to consider the necessary reagents in the creation of ozone... but what are the necessart reagents?

Your best bet is near heavy industrial areas, even better if there's a large amount of vehicle traffic nearby.  However, actually finding a highly concentrated ozone area down on the surface isn't very easy.  The ozone tends to rise into the lower troposphere fairly rapidly.  This is not a good thing, but it does keep it up off of the ground (at least, it keeps it off of the ground in those large concentrations that you're looking for).
