Ozone is a toxic air pollutant that is a concern for people's health when levels in outdoor air are high. Ozone is the principal component of the mixture of air pollutants known as "smog" that is produced from the action of sunlight on air contaminants from automobile exhausts and other sources. Ozone levels are most likely to be elevated after noon through early evening on hot, sunny days. The New York State Departments of Health (DOH) and Environmental Conservation (DEC) alert the public by issuing a Ozone Health Advisory when ozone concentrations in outdoor air are expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups.

What will happen to me if I am exposed to ozone during an advisory?

People exposed to elevated levels of ozone may experience a variety of symptoms. The most common symptom is a feeling of irritation in the eyes, nose and throat. Some people may also experience respiratory or heart symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and wheezing. Even without such symptoms, people exposed to ozone may have changes in their lung function that can last for several days before returning to normal. Some people experience these effects as "feeling tired" or "lacking energy."
