Serving your Community
 Every summer, ground-level ozone
 forms in dozens of U.S. cities, creating
 smog, and triggering respiratory prob-
 lems for many Americans. Knowing
 when the air is likely to be unhealthy
 can make a big difference for those
 who are ozone-sensitive.

               with asthma do seem to have
               increased respiratory
               problems during the peak
               ozone periods..."

It's important to teach our
communities how high ozone
levels can affect their health. This
media kit has been designed as a
resource you can use to make a
real difference in the health of our
children, elderly and people with
asthma.
