What is Ozone Pollution? -
Proper weather conditions (light winds, heat, and sunshine), together with an adequate combination of pollutants (nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds), fuel the chemical reaction that produces ozone pollution.
During the ozone season (roughly April through October in Texas), the San Antonio Air Improvement Resources Committee (AIRCo) calls an Air Quality Health Alert Day for the metropolitan area participating in the program when TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) meteorologists predict that weather conditions the following day will be favorable for the formation of high levels of ozone.
