VOCs even come from the emissions of our personal cars. In southeastern Wisconsin there are 100,000 people who suffer from asthma and many others with respiratory illnesses. Everyone is being affected one way or another by high levels of ozone. We want to improve air quality and reduce health risks for you, your children, the elderly and for asthma sufferers. But we need your help in order to improve air quality.
Day is issued.
There are simple things like carpooling if you go out for lunch, postponing the use of gasoline powered lawn mowers, or combining trips on your way to or from work to reduce miles traveled and the number of cold engine starts. Days will be called in over 20 localities including Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Day notices this summer.
