Wisconsin's Lakeshore counties face an air quality advisory due to high ozone levels caused by hot temperatures, sunlight, and southerly winds.
Lakeshore counties in Wisconsin face ozone concentration due to hot temperatures, sunlight, and southerly winds, leading to an air quality advisory. Ozone, not directly emitted, is formed by photochemical reactions between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrous oxide (NOx) precursors. Sensitive groups, including those with lung disease, children, older adults, and outdoor workers, should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion during the advisory.
