During the Air Quality Alert, the air quality agency offered several recommendations to help lower ozone levels. These include:
- Taking the bus, carpooling or walking instead of driving
- Refueling after 8 p.m., avoiding topping off the gas tank and securely tightening the gas cap
- Avoiding idling your vehicle
- Combining trips to avoid unnecessary vehicle use
- Avoiding using gas-powered lawn equipment or oil-based paints and statins
- Conserving electricity and avoiding using fire pits or fireplaces for non-essential home heating
- Never burning leaves or yard trimmings, and only burning clean, seasoned wood in outdoor fire pits, fireplaces and wood stoves
The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency said in our area, ozone is the most common cause for elevated air pollution levels, especially during warmer weather.
