An hourly average ozone concentration of more than 180 µg/m³ was measured at the measuring point in Schwechat on Wednesday. This also exceeded the threshold for an ozone alert. What you need to know now:
The persistent heat causes an ozone alarm in northern Austria. During the course of the day, it can be assumed that ozone concentrations will remain at the same level and that the information threshold will continue to be exceeded.
Walk & Co easily possible
Ozone concentrations above the information threshold may cause mild impairment in individuals who are particularly sensitive and subject to increased physical exertion. However, normal outdoor exposure, such as walking, swimming or picnicking, is also harmless for sensitive people. In particular, they should inform themselves about the further development of the ozone concentration in the occupied area. Further individual protective measures are only necessary if the alarm threshold is exceeded.
„Give up driving“
Due to the increased ozone pollution, the Viennese environmental service requests that you do not necessarily drive a car and use public transport.
