ozone harm to health

Ozone at ground level, often caused by pollution and vehicle emissions, can harm your health by irritating your respiratory system. It can lead to coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath. For people with asthma or lung conditions, ozone can worsen symptoms and increase the risk of respiratory infections. Prolonged exposure may reduce lung function and inflame airways, posing serious health risks, especially during sunny, hot days when ozone levels tend to be higher. It’s important to stay indoors or limit outdoor activities when ozone levels are high to protect your respiratory health.
