Taking the Pledge for Clean Air Take a look at the air you breathe. It may appear clean, but air quality conditions can be deceiving. Ozone can affect your health, causing shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and eye and nose irritation. It is especially harmful to the elderly, children, asthmatics and persons with chronic respiratory ailments. Because of this risk, meteorologists in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan continually monitor the weather and air quality conditions on a daily basis.
Day is announced.
Citizens, businesses and government agencies are asked to consider taking voluntary measures to reduce the emissions that produce ozone. That's why we have joined the Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air initiative, a program which coordinates voluntary actions by businesses, local governments, schools and community organizations throughout the region. Promote the use of transit, carpooling, walking and biking. Reduce emissions of ozone producing chemicals, well below the set legal standards. Provide materials to our employees about actions we can all take to reduce pollution.
