Air quality can dip during the summer months, so it is important to remain informed on what is going on with the air you breathe.

In sunny and hot weather, so-called summer smog can form as ozone concentrations rapidly rise. Some people can react sensitively to this.

The reaction is caused by high temperatures and strong sunlight with oxides of nitrogen reacting with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly at times with little to no wind.

The term summer smog describes increased concentrations of ozone and other air pollutants near the ground.
