The word "ozone" is written and read in just about the same way in Arabic, Turkish and other foreign languages. The letters that comprise the word ozone appear side by side in the 6th verse of Surat al-Jinn. Moreover, the verses that follow refer to the "protective" nature of the sky:

وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنَٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًۭا شَدِيدًۭا وَشُهُبًۭا ۝٨

We tried, as usual, to travel to heaven in search of news but found it filled with fierce guards and meteors.
Surah al-Jinn, 8

The "guards" in the sky are highly compatible with the role of the ozone layer within the Earth’s atmosphere. In short, it is the protective layer in the sky, keeping harmful rays away from the Earth. The appearance - side by side - of the letters that comprise the world ozone, and in the above verse that refers to the "protective" nature of the sky, cannot be explained by chance. This is a miracle created in the Qur'an by our Lord.
