9 News HD: A new report has raised concerns over the growing impact of ozone pollution, with around one-third of the world’s population exposed to dangerous levels of ozone in the air.
The report highlights that millions of people are living in areas where poor air quality can become a serious concern, especially during hot weather. High temperatures can increase ozone levels, making outdoor air more harmful for people.

The findings show that ozone pollution is not limited to one country or region. People in different parts of the world are facing periods of unhealthy air, raising concerns about the wider impact of climate change and changing weather conditions.
Lahore is also among the cities mentioned in connection with the worsening air quality situation. The report underlines the need for better monitoring and steps to reduce pollution levels.
With heatwaves becoming a major concern in many regions, air quality remains an important issue for public health. The latest findings highlight why checking air quality and reducing pollution sources are becoming increasingly important.
