- Title
Ozone Overload: Current Standards May Not Protect Health.
- Authors
Dahl, Richard
- Abstract
The article discusses the inadequacy of current environmental protection standards relating to the health hazards posed by the ozone levels in the atmosphere. Ozone has been known to be a common urban pollutant and has been correlated to health effects including reduced lung function, increases in respiratory symptoms, and asthma. A study was released in 2006 indicating that ozone may pose a danger to human health even at levels below the limits set by current U.S. and international regulations.
