What is the Ozone Action Day Program?
The Ozone Action Day Program is a ten-year-old program that was sponsored by the Northeast Ohio Ozone Action Task Force, which was originally comprised of representatives from local governments, health agencies, environmental organizations and the private sector. Today, the program is run by NOACA, with input from the Akron Regional Air Quality Management District; Cleveland Division of Environment; Lake County General Health District; USEPA and Ohio EPA. The program combines air quality analysis with a coordinated publicity campaign to make individuals aware of and limit ozone formation. The program area includes the counties of Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit Counties by informing the general population of the health risks and environmental impacts ground-level ozone has on our community.
