Ground-level ozone pollution is formed when emissions from everyday items combine with other pollutants and “cook” in heat and sunlight.
Ozone affects our city’s livability and can cause attacks and symptoms in people with pre-existing health conditions, such as asthma or other respiratory diseases. High levels of ozone pollution also affect healthy people who work or exercise outdoors.
