In recent years there has been increased interest in elucidating the biochemical and physiological responses of plants to air pollutants. Ozone has received particular scrutiny because of its importance in photochemical smog. The effects of ozone on the spectrum of physiological and biochemical systems has been analyzed in plant systems both vivo and vitro to... 

The effects of the secondary air pollutant, ozone, on growing plant systems have been extensively documented phenomenologically, There are at least three proposed mechanisms by which ozone could cause injury, each of which must operate within a framework of temporal sensitivity determined by the state of differentiation of the plant (11),...

Ozone. 03 is the principal oxidizing component in photochemically produced air pollutants. Ozone probably causes more injury to vegetation than any other pollutant in the United States (6). Phytotoxic levels frequently occur near industrial complexes and densely populated urban areas. Exposure for two or more hours to concentrations of 10 parts per hundred million (pphm) of air may cause acute injury to several of the most sensitive species of plants.

Ozone does occur in fairly large amounts under special conditions. For example, there is an unusually large amount of ozone in Earth s upper atmosphere. That ozone layer is important to life on Earth. It shields out harmful radiation that comes from the sun. Ozone is also sometimes found closer to Earth s surface. It is produced when gasoline is burned in cars and tmcks. It is part of the condition known as air pollution. Ozone at ground level is not helpful to life, and may cause health problems for plants, humans, and other animals.

Notice that the ADI is not a direct expression of risk. Risk, recall, is a probability the ADI is a very low risk intake, or dose, with very low undefined. If there were some means to estimate the fraction of the population having thresholds lower than the ADI (the potentially at risk group), then a measure of the risk associated with the ADI could be obtained. No means exist to do this except for a few agents, particularly those such as the common air pollutants (ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides) that cause readily observable damage to human health. 

A textbook briefly summed up for students on fundamental aspects of atmospheric chemistry including air pollution, ozone hole, global warming. Many problems and answers are provided. 

Depending on site-specific conditions, there may be other features such as air pollution, ozone, product orientation, moisture conditions and duration, etc. That said, a concentrated effort on to predict the lifetime of geotextiles has been ongoing at the Geosynthetic Institute this section is the status-to-date for four different types of commercially available polypropylene geotextiles.
