The Ohio EPA has predicted Thursday July 18 to be unhealthy for sensitive groups across Northeast Ohio.
Ozone pollution is predicted to be high enough to affect some people. That means that anybody with lung disease, including asthma, should stay inside and avoid heavy exertion outside.

People should try to avoid contributing to ozone air pollution by reducing or eliminating unnecessary car trips, consider carpooling or using public transportation. The EPA also asks people to consider setting their home or office air conditioning thermostat a little lower.
It is also important to refuel vehicles and mow grass after 7 p.m.
