INDIANAPOLIS -
The city of Indianapolis forecasts both Saturday and Sunday as Knozone Air Quality Action Days. The air quality may become unhealthy for individuals, especially active children, the elderly and anyone suffering from lung disease or other serious health problems.
This weekends forecast indicates that ground-level ozone levels may be high. Ground-level ozone is the key component in urban and regional smog. Smog is formed when harmful emissions from a variety of sources react with sunlight. Ground-level ozone is more common from April through September, because heat and sunlight are important factors in its formation.
Individuals and businesses can help prevent ground-level ozone by following these guidelines:
· Reducing vehicle idling
· Biking or walking instead of driving
· Carpooling
· Using public transportation like IndyGo
· Combining errands
· Filling gas tanks and mowing after 6 p.m.
Studies have associated ground-level ozone pollution with serious health problems, such as aggravated lung disease, decreased lung function and triggering asthma attacks. People with concerns about how air pollution affects their health should contact their physician for advice.
For more information click here or call (317) 327-4AIR for current air quality information.
