Children face risk of exposure
With more time spent outdoors during summer, children are at risk for exposure
to high levels of ground-level ozone. This type of ozone is formed by exhaust
from petrochemical plants or automobiles and can damage body tissue.
"Children have a growing respiratory tract and breathe in more air per
pound of body weight than adults," said Dr. Nick Hanania, a lung specialist
at Baylor College of Medicine. "With ozone exposure, we tend to see a drop
in lung function."
Sunlight, heat and humidity, which are highest at midday, all contribute
to high ground-level ozone levels. Hanania suggests setting children's
outdoor playtime to either the early morning or late afternoon.
"Ozone overexposure can result in temporary chest tightness, a cough
and breathing problems," Hanania said. "People should take local ozone
warnings seriously."
