What damages Tropospheric ozone causes?
Ozone that forms too close to the ground is harmful to plants and animals.
What damages Eutrophication causes?
Eutrophication is when a lake gets too many plant nutrients (similar to us eating greasy fast food every day).
This leads to harmful algal blooms and the lakes getting overgrown.
The greatest causes are nitric oxide from traffic and phosphorus.
