Moderate levels can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
Low-level exposures have been shown to cause significant temporary decreases in lung capacity in healthy, exercising adults.
Some asthmatic individuals are especially susceptible to ozone toxicity, which includes constricting airways.
Short-term exposures can cause increased sensitivity to airborne allergens and other irritants, and it can impair the body's immune system.
Summertime ozone episodes in the northeastern U.S. lead to 10-20% increases in hospital admissions and emergency room visits.
Human population studies of long-term exposures to low-level ozone indicate that it may lead to permanent reduction in lung capacity; animal studies have shown chronic high-level exposures can cause lasting structural damage in the lungs.
Children, especially asthmatics, are most at risk from exposure to ozone.
