Abstract


Ozone (O3) is present in different layers of the atmosphere: in the stratosphere, it acts as a filter for ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun, while in the troposphere it is a pollutant harmful to living organisms and is also a precursor gas of the greenhouse effect.The objective of this study was to evaluate the hourly variations in the concentration of O3 in the municipality of Mineral de la Reforma, Hidalgo, using colorimetric detectors prepared with a starch/KI solution. The results obtained from the exposure of the detectors to O3 in the study area showed that the maximum concentration of this gas occurred at 12h00, with an average temperature of 18.5C and a relative humidity between 16 and 20%.
