Gas that in the atmosphere filters ultraviolet radiation (5)

I believe the answer is:

ozone

(Other definitions for ozone that I've seen before include "Sea air; toxic gas" , "Gas formed from oxygen" , "Form of atmospheric oxygen" , "That precious layer" , "Pungent form of oxygen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
