Special Edition - Ozone Action Day Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is an Ozone Action Day for the Austin area, which means that TCEQ believes that there is a high likelihood that ground-level ozone pollution will reach levels considered “unhealthy for sensitive groups” (children, seniors, adults with asthma, and adults who are active outdoors) particularly on the southern and southeastern parts of the metro areas. Ground-level ozone can make it difficult to breathe and cause shortness of breath, and can trigger asthma attacks among people who have asthma.

You can keep yourself and your family safe by limiting prolonged physical exertion outdoors and scheduling outdoor activities for the morning rather than afternoon and ensuring that if you or any of your family members has asthma that quick-relief medicine is on-hand.

You can limit air pollution levels tomorrow by carpooling, taking mass transit, avoiding unnecessary trips, and conserving electricity.
