c. respiratory illness

Ground-level ozone (a major component of smog) irritates and inflames the airways, worsens asthma, reduces lung function, and increases respiratory infections. Cataracts and skin cancer are linked to increased UV exposure from stratospheric ozone depletion, not ground-level ozone.
