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.
Ozone, created by sunlight reacting with pollution, can reduce visibility and harm health; officials advise limiting outdoor activities during the advisory period.
