Texas Faces Repeated Ozone Action Days Amid Rising Pollution Levels

Residents across major cities urged to limit car use and outdoor activities to mitigate health risks.

Ozone Action Days are declared when air quality reaches unhealthy levels due to ozone pollution.
Texas officials recommend reducing car travel, avoiding idling, and rescheduling outdoor activities.
Sensitive groups, including children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions, are most at risk.
High ozone levels are driven by a combination of vehicle emissions, industrial pollutants, and weather conditions.
Similar alerts have been issued in other states, highlighting a broader environmental and public health concern.
