ozone
Ozone (), also called trioxygen, is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula ''''''. It is a pale-blue gas with a distinctively pungent odour. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope , breaking down in the lower atmosphere to (dioxygen). Ozone is formed from dioxygen by the action of ultraviolet (UV) light and electrical discharges within the Earth's atmosphere. It is present in very low concentrations throughout the atmosphere, with its highest concentration high in the ozone layer of the stratosphere, which absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviole

Osmophobia or olfactophobia refers to a fear, aversion, or psychological hypersensitivity to odors.

The phobia generally occurs in chronic migraine sufferers who may have odor triggered migraines.
