Ozone action alert?

its not "crap" they take humidity and smog levels into consideration to determine how difficult it is to breath in, for the average person, they rarley notice...for us though, its potentiall dangerous. Living in denver, you probably don't notice it either bc of the humidity level potential, but in wisc, i defintly notice how hard it is to breath...

Denver does not have a color system; if I understand it right, the alerts in Denver are based solely on weather conditions. That is, an alert is issued based on the potential for high levels of ozone and not the actual levels themselves.
Doing a little more research, I also found out ground level ozone is the principal ingredient in smog, so if we want to know the level of ozone in the air, we just have to look at how hazy the city is. I think anyone with respiratory problems already knows its a bad idea to go out when there's a bunch of smog, so I really don't see the value of the alerts as far as we are concerned. I mean, why do I need to be alerted about something I can already see with my own eyes?
I wish the media would have reported "The potential for smog is high today, so people with respiratory problems should be attentive" rather than "There's an ozone action alert, so everyone with respiratory problems is in danger" I think there's a big difference between the two, but whatever. Now I know, and I guess that's what matters.

For us, it's not just visible smog, apparently, there are other things that go into it- I'll see if I can find something... Plus, downtown is the worst (and has the haze some days), but the vast majority of people who work downtown or do business downtown don't live there. We have air quality sensors in rural areas away from downtown that you otherwise would never know about, that go off, due to the powerplants, etc. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
I think the amount of "scare" in the alerts is the reason behind the color coded system- it's just a heads up when you need one, and a true alert when things are really bad <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .
