...OZONE HIGH POLLUTION ADVISORY FOR MARICOPA COUNTY INCLUDING THE

PHOENIX METRO AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...



The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued an

Ozone High Pollution Advisory for the Phoenix Metro Area on Thursday

and Friday.



This means that forecast weather conditions combined with existing

ozone levels are expected to result in local maximum 8-hour ozone

concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects

increase as air quality deteriorates.



Ozone is an air contaminant which can cause breathing difficulties

for children, older adults, as well as persons with respiratory

problems. A decrease in physical activity is recommended.



You are urged to car pool, telecommute or use mass transit.

The use of gasoline-powered equipment should be reduced or done late

in the day.
