well, well, well. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality [TCEQ] issued a Level Red Pollution Warning today, meaning that it's unhealthy to work outside. This is the first Red Alert since August 2003. Today's culprit: excessive ozone (the abundance of F350's, H2's and poorly-maintained cars have nothing to do with it, right?).
The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission has a dynamically updated page showing how breathable (or not) the air is: recommended. So far (noon) it's very bad in Denton County (north of here) but still "moderate" here in The Big City.
The TXDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) site has some information about Ozone Action Days, and also pointed me to DFW cleanair.com (of which I was unfamiliar).
Then there's the dynamic ozone map, (breathable under 79 ppm, apparently). And let's not forget the Ultraviolet Index Forecast. Pity these don't automatically download to my car's Heads Up Display; that feature will be in Next Year's Model, right?
