Bad ozone season started this week in the DFW area and is expected to be worse than in 2007.

For most of the next six months, pollution from cars and trucks, construction equipment and industry will bake in the sunlight and heat to create the ozone pollution blamed for everything from asthma attacks in children to nasal problems in healthy adults.

The nice thing about Seattle is it doesn't get nearly as hot up here and there's just less pollution overall, which means that they very rarely have ozone alert days. The daily ozone problems are something I definitely won't miss. It'll be nice to be able to actually go outside and breathe cleaner cooler air from now on.
