Ozone Effects
Ozone can adversely affect human health, damage vegetation, and degrade
materials. Ozone can inflame and irritate the respiratory tract, causing breathing
difficulty, coughing, and throat irritation. Exposure to ozone can also increase the lungs’ susceptibility
to infections, allergens, and other air pollutants. The greatest threat is to those spending time outdoors during
periods of high ozone levels. High levels of ozone also reduce crop and timber yields, damage native
plants, and damage materials such as rubber, plastic, paint and fabrics.
