Infographic on Ground Level Ozone Pollution
The story of air pollution does not end with PM2.5 - Ozone is created when oxides and nitrogen
compounds come into contact with sunlight and is the new source of health impacts in urban areas. Many of the same groups that are sensitive to other kinds of air
pollution will have trouble with higher levels of ozone, namely people
who already have respiratory problems, babies, senior citizens, and
people who work outdoors. Unlike PM 2.5 pollution, masks and air purifiers don't help the
situation. Instead, the best measure is avoid strenuous physical
activity during strong summer sunlight. More @ theBeijinger
