Ozone Action Day

What is an Ozone Action Day?

{Ozone Action Day}

An Ozone Action Day is a day where an exceedance of the federal 8-hour ozone standard is forecasted. On Ozone Action Days, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection asks the community to take simple, voluntary actions to help reduce ground-level ozone and in turn help prevent an exceedance of the federal standard.
