Ground level ozone is a highly reactive gas commonly found in urban and suburban environments, formed when pollutants react in sunlight. Recent reviews suggest that 80% of the world’s population in urban areas are exposed to air pollution levels above the WHO threshold. g/m 3 (WHO), 120 ?g/m g/m 3 (European Union directive), 140 ?
