On Thursday, ozone concentrations greater than 180 µg/m³ were measured as an hourly average at the Hermannskogel measuring point in ozone measuring area 1 in the northeast of Austria. This also exceeded the threshold for an ozone alarm.
It is expected that the ozone concentrations will remain the same during the day, so that the information threshold will be exceeded more and more often.
Ozone concentrations above the information threshold may cause minor impairment in individuals who are particularly sensitive and subject to increased physical exertion. The normal time spent outdoors, for example walking, swimming or picnicking, is harmless even for sensitive people.
Avoid necessary car trips
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.
Due to increased ozone pollution, the Vienna Environmental Protection Department requests that you do not drive a car that is not absolutely necessary and use public transport.
