Doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas say people with respiratory problems should pay attention to ozone reports. On days when ozone is particularly high, you should stay indoors. Limit outdoor activities to the morning and the evening, when ozone levels are lower. To help keep ozone levels low, do your part and avoid driving on high ozone days. Car pool or use public transportation instead.
Some cities provide free or reduced cost rides on public transportation on ozone alert days.
