The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has again extended its High Pollution Advisory for ozone for the Greater Phoenix Area through Thursday, May 13. It also has issued an ozone pollution âwatchâ for Friday, May 14.Â
This means that forecast weather conditions combined with existing ozone levels are expected to result in local maximum 8-hour ozone concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects increase as air quality deteriorates.
Ozone is an air contaminant which can cause breathing difficulties for children as well as persons with respiratory problems. A decrease in physical activity is recommended.
If it is a regularly scheduled workday, you are urged to carpool, telecommute or use mass transit.

Newly released emails reveal that lawyers and lobbyists for mining companies, developers and the agriculture industry had a hand behind the scenes in shaping Arizona’s newly adopted law on clean-water rules for rivers and streams.
The emails show the involvement of these influential groups went beyond their public endorsements of the legislation. Their lawyers and lobbyists were given access to offer input while the final legislation was being drafted, and the emails show they suggested specific language, offered “wordsmithing” tweaks and requested significant changes that state officials incorporated into the bill.
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality released more than 400 emails in response to a request by The Arizona Republic under the state’s public records law.
