Extreme heat is exacerbating ground-level ozone pollution, with significant increases observed in Romania. The analysis by Luminița Mărmureanu highlights the impact of high temperatures and emissions on air quality, particularly in urban areas. Ozone levels have risen notably in regions like Giurgiu and Ialomița, posing health risks such as respiratory issues. The study also emphasizes the transboundary nature of pollution, where emissions from wildfires can affect air quality far from their source. Despite improvements in some pollutants across Europe, ozone levels remain a concern, influenced by weather patterns and industrial emissions.
