Ozone ndi yoyipa makamaka kwa anthu omwe ali ndi mphumu, achikulire kwambiri komanso achichepere kwambiri, komanso anthu omwe amagwira ntchito kunja. Kafukufuku wa Njuchi akuwonetsanso kuti madera opanda mitengo ali ndi mphumu yayikulu.
N’chifukwa chake kubzala mitengo n’kofunika kwambiri kuti titeteze thanzi komanso kuti tigwirizane ndi kusintha kwa nyengo.
