The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has declared Friday as an ozone action day for the San Antonio area.The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has declared Friday as an ozone action day for the San Antonio area. It will be the first day this year with possibly harmful levels of ozone pollution.

Young children, the elderly and others who have respiratory issues, such as bronchitis, emphysema or asthma, are more vulnerable to the pollution’s effects. People with such conditions are advised to stay indoors or limit outside activity. Ozone is a harmful smog-like substance that comes from nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds produced by construction, some industries and vehicles, as well as heat and sunlight.On ozone action days, the levels are particularly high.

The TCEQ urges residents to prevent ozone pollution by sharing a ride, riding bicycles and avoiding drive-through lanes or other reasons to idle vehicle engines. Residents should also refuel cars and trucks after 6 p.m. and set their thermostats 2 to 3 degrees higher from 2 to 7 p.m. The optimal energy-saving temperature is 78 degrees.
