The “Ozone” product provides forecasts every three hours for the next seven days, monitoring tropospheric ozone levels in the air. This index is particularly important in pollution scenarios, such as during wildfires and fires, which can increase ozone concentration, contributing to air quality degradation.
Tracking ozone levels is essential for identifying periods when pollution is most intense, allowing communities and authorities to implement protective measures. Exposure to high ozone levels can cause respiratory issues and worsen existing health conditions, making this data crucial for air quality management and public health protection during periods of elevated pollution.
