However, a remarkable fact accompanies this vast aquatic expanse: the oceans, which comprise most of Earth's water, are salty and undrinkable. In this essay, we delve into the two primary reasons behind the salinity of ocean water, its historical transformation into a salty behemoth, and why human consumption of seawater remains hazardous.

IMPORTANCE OF OZONE(O3) IN DAY TO DAY LIFE. Content Warning.
Ozone is an odorless, colorless gas made up of three oxygen molecules (O3) and is a natural part of the environment. It occurs both in the Earth's upper atmosphere, or stratosphere, and at ground level in the lower atmosphere, or troposphere. Ozone is formed when heat and sunlight cause chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOX ) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), which are also known as Hydrocarbons. Ozone is an inorganic molecule, with a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell. Often called photochemical "smog," ozone is harmful to breathe. Ozone aggressively attacks lung tissue by reacting chemically with it. When ozone is present, there are other harmful pollutants created by the same processes that make ozone. The name ozone derives from ozein, the Greek neuter present participle for smell, referring to ozone's distinctive smell.
