Ozone Action Season is May through September. This is the time of year that hot, sunny days combine with volatile organic compounds to create low-level ozone. Do your part to protect the air by leaving your car at home - take the bus or ride a bike. Don't mow the lawn when it's really hot, wait for evening. Avoid gassing up the car or using spray paint. Adjust the thermostat to use the air conditioner less. Hang out the laundry instead of using the drier. Basically, sit in the shade and enjoy doing no yard work.
To get ozone forecasts sign up for email notifications. Email to
ENV.INFORMATION@toledo.oh.gov and ask to be added to the list.
The levels of ozone (from best conditions to worst):
- Good
- Satisfactory
- Precautionary Measures Should be Taken by Sensitive Groups
- Caution
