Officials in Indiana and California called for behavior changes to combat air pollution, but the recommendations faced criticism for lacking scientific support and efficacy.
Experts argue that calls for Americans to alter behaviors to mitigate air pollution levels are unscientific; assertions that changes would impact pollution seem without substantial evidence.
Fernando Correa compared current advisories to pandemic-era control measures, noting that the effectiveness of such directives remains debatable and may be viewed as a control tactic.
While advisories are currently formalized in two states, government data suggests that at least 25 others face similar air pollution challenges, particularly in the Midwest.
