Arizonans face another ozone high-pollution day on Wednesday

Posted

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has issued an ozone high-pollution advisory for Wednesday, Aug. 7.

A high-pollution advisory is issued when the highest concentration of pollution may exceed the federal health standard. Active children, adults and people with lung diseases, such as asthma, should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion.

ADEQ officials also ask residents to:

  • Drive less, carpool, use public transit, or telecommute.
  • Fuel vehicles after dark or during cooler evening hours.
  • Reduce wait time in long drive-thru lines by parking and going inside.
  • Use low-VOCs or water-based paints, stains, finishes and paint strippers.
  • Avoid using leaf blowers.
  • Conserve electricity.
