Etymology

The word "ozone" originates from the Greek word 'ozein', which means 'to smell'. The term was first coined in 1785 by the German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth, who discovered ozone while studying the properties of oxygen. Ozone was officially identified as a distinct chemical substance in the 19th century when the French chemist Claude Louis Berthollet isolated it. The understanding of its beneficial role in the atmosphere evolved over time, particularly in the 20th century, with increasing awareness of environmental issues such as its destructive effects on human health and ecosystems when present at ground level.
