Residents in the Houston, Galveston, and Brazoria areas are being asked to change their daily routines to help curb air pollution, following an Ozone Action Day declaration for Wednesday, April 9, by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

The alert, relayed by the National Weather Service, warns that weather conditions are conducive to producing high levels of ozone pollution, prompting officials to advise millions to take specific measures that can reduce emissions—including avoiding drive-thru lanes.

Why It Matters
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that even short-term exposure to elevated ozone can lead to breathing difficulties, lung inflammation, and worsening of conditions such as asthma.

Houston ranks among the most ozone-polluted cities in the nation.

really can take a lot longer than parking the car and going inside.
