Which among the following is NOT a unit of measurement of surface ozone?
The Dobson unit measures total ozone in the whole vertical column, not the concentration of ozone right at the surface, so it does not fit surface ozone.
Micrograms per cubic metre expresses surface ozone as a mass of gas within a volume of air and is a valid unit.
Nanograms per cubic metre works the same way at a finer mass scale and is also valid.
Parts per million gives the ozone fraction relative to the air around it and is commonly used for surface ozone.
Surface ozone is a ground level pollutant formed by reactions of vehicle and industrial emissions in sunlight.
One Dobson unit corresponds to a 0.01 mm thick layer of pure ozone at standard temperature and pressure.
