The Utah Departments of Health (UDOH) and Environmental Quality (DEQ), in cooperation with other community partners, have teamed up to develop recommendations for outdoor physical activity in the summertime that avoid unhealthy exposure to summertime ozone air pollution.
Ozone is created by the sun’s heat and light acting upon gases and pollution in the atmosphere. Exposure to high summer ozone levels can cause coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, increased allergy and asthma symptoms, and eye, nose, or throat irritation.
