The Pima County Department of Environment Quality anticipates that the ground-level ozone air pollution will be high on Friday and Saturday.
Jamie Donnelly The Pima County Department of Environment Quality issued an advisory for ground-level ozone air pollution on Friday.
For those who are especially sensitive to ozone, the PDEQ advises to limit the level of exertion outside between noon and 6 p.m. when elevated levels of ozone pollution are more likely to occur. Intense physical outdoor activity causes faster and deeper breathing, allowing ozone to penetrate into the parts of the lungs that are more likely to be injured.
