What do we know aboutozone and health?
EPA’s Integrated Science
Assessment (ISA)
● Assessment of the current
scientific studies and
knowledge about the effects of
ozone on public health
● Scientific basis for the
establishment of the most
current national air quality
standards for ozone
● New ISA coming out in 2020

● Causal relationship between short-term ozone
exposure and respiratory health effects
● People most likely to experience health effects caused
by ozone include:○ Children
○ Older adults
○ People with asthma, emphysema, or other lung diseases
○ People who exercise or work outside
● Health effects can include:○ Cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, throat irritation
○ Asthma symptoms and increased need for asthma medication
○ Healthcare visits for respiratory symptoms
● Varying levels of evidence for effects on other organ
systems and effects of long-term exposure
8-hour Average
Ozone (ppb) Category EPA-Recommended Actions
0-54 Good None
55-70 Moderate There may be a small number of people who are unusually sensitive to this level of
ozone. Those people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion.
71-85 Unhealthy for
sensitive groups
People with lung disease (such as asthma or emphysema), children, older adults, and
people who are active outdoors should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion.
86-105 Unhealthy People with lung disease (such as asthma or emphysema), children, older adults, and
people who are active outdoors should avoid prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion.
Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion.
106-200 Very Unhealthy People with lung disease (such as asthma or emphysema), children, older adults, and
people who are active outdoors should avoid all outdoor exertion.
Everyone else should reduce outdoor exertion.
