The Florida Lung Doctors want you to know that there are two types of ozone. Most of us know that the “ozone layer” protects our planet from harmful UV rays, but have you heard of the smoggy,”bad” ozone?

Ozone is the most abundant pollutant in “smog.” When you hear an ozone alert or warning on the weather report, we want you to protect your lungs. This danger is thought of as primarily urban, but winds can carry this irritating form of ozone anywhere, and warm weather intensifies it.

This kind of ozone can initiate brutal respiratory attacks, especially in children, seniors, and people who already suffer from any type of lung disease. Click our handy link for more information about “bad” ozone at this reliable resource.

The Florida Lung Doctors add their warnings to those of Dr. Nick Hanania, another lung expert, who said recently, “People can have difficulty breathing and sometimes experience severe chest pains.

He added, “For some sufferers, immediate hospital attention and treatment are required.” Extensive study and research was published today by our experts.

However, you are not helpless to defend yourself against this aggressive threat to breath. The Lung Doctors present you with a strategy for the coming Ozone alert months

1. Your First Defense: Listen to the ozone reports and remain indoors if the level is severe. Some people do not even register symptoms, but their lung tissue is being damaged by needless exposure.

2. Good Second Line of Defense: Avoid buying ozone enriched air cleaners.

3. Your Office Line of Defense: Put your personal printer out of your personal air space. (Besides, a little walk over to use it will be healthy exercise.)

4. An Additional Precaution: Avoid exercising near the street traffic.
