"Ozone, created by sunlight reacting with pollution, can reduce visibility and harm health; officials advise limiting outdoor activities during the advisory period."
"Ozone is a colorless pollutant that can cause lung damage, especially in vulnerable populations like children and seniors during high concentration levels."
On June 25, an ozone Air Quality Health Advisory is in effect for New York's metro area from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Ozone, formed from vehicle exhaust and sunlight, can cause reduced visibility and health issues, particularly for children, seniors, and those with pre-existing conditions. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities, use mass transit, and take steps to reduce energy and emissions during a heatwave. Symptoms like chest pain should prompt medical attention. The advisory highlights the importance of distinguishing between harmful ground-level ozone and the protective layer of ozone in the atmosphere.
