2025 Ozone Alert! Season Begins
INCOG is committed to staying in compliance with air quality standards through key programs such as the Ozone Alert! program. Now in its 35th season, the Ozone Alert! program typically runs April through October. In 2024, there were 6 Ozone Alert! days issued, and the region recorded 8 days that exceeded the EPA standard. Our 3-year design value remained at .073 parts per million which is above the .070 ppm established by the Environmental Protection Agency.
During the summer months, weather conditions can prompt ground-level ozone formation and other pollutants to clog the air. This makes for an unhealthy environment, especially for those dealing with asthma and other breathing difficulties. Keeping the region’s air clean and in compliance with the national standard is also vital for economic development, and transportation affordability.
When an Ozone Alert! day is issued, everyone is urged to take voluntary action to reduce ozone-forming emissions. You can keep track of the area’s real-time ozone levels throughout the season on www.TulsaAirQuality.com. On the website, you can sign up to receive Ozone Alerts! by email. To receive a text message on your phone on Ozone Alert! days, simply text “AIR” to 918-584-7526.
