Bromine then reacts with a gaseous form of mercury, turning it into a pollutant that falls to Earth’s surface. Despite ozone’s beneficial role blocking harmful radiation in the stratosphere, ground-level ozone is a harmful pollutant. Bromine also can remove ozone from the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere.
