Texas officials are urging residents in some areas to use different modes of transportation other than their cars on Friday as ozone pollution in the state reach concerning levels.
“Atmospheric conditions are expected to be favorable for producing high levels of ozone pollution in the Houston, Galveston, and surrounding areas on Friday,” the alert posted by the National Weather Service (NWS) said.
“Elevated levels of ozone—the predominant summertime pollutant—are likely to result in poor air quality in the afternoon and early-evening hours,” the alert said on the NWS website.
"Ozone air pollution can cause respiratory health problems, including trouble breathing, asthma attacks, and lung damage.
Children, older adults, and people with asthma or COPD may be more sensitive to the health effects of ozone."
People also can conserve energy by setting their air conditioners to a higher temperature and limiting the use of gasoline-powered equipment, such as lawn mowers.
