High ozone contributed to poor air quality in parts of Texas and Arizona, where people were asked to avoid driving.
Residents of cities in Texas and Arizona are being asked to avoid driving their cars because of poor air quality on Friday.Air quality alerts were broadcast by the National Weather Service as high amounts of wildfire smoke and ozone pollution worsened air quality across several states. In some parts of the U.S., residents were asked to avoid contributing to pollution by carpooling to work or riding a bike.Air quality alerts were issued for Texas, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon.
'As we get deeper into the cold season, the sun angle is lower and there are shorter days and it tends to be windier, so most Ozone Action Days are during the warm season,' he said. 'This weekend is going to be much more like a summer weekend, with high temperatures and light winds.'In Arizona, the air quality alert was issued after ozone concentrations were seen as posing a health risk.
