Levels of ozone harmful to health in the municipalities of Lisbon, Amadora and Loures
The regional coordination and development commission for Lisbon and Tagus Valley (CCDR-LVT) reported harmful ozone levels in the municipalities of Amadora, Lisbon, and Loures. Ozone concentrations exceeded the threshold of 180 µg/m³, reaching up to 211 µg/m³ in some areas during the afternoon. These high levels pose health risks, particularly for children, the elderly, asthma sufferers, and those with respiratory or heart conditions. Authorities advised reducing intense outdoor physical activity and avoiding prolonged time outdoors. In Lisbon, this was the second consecutive day of elevated ozone levels in the Olivais area, while in Amadora, the Reboleira neighborhood saw levels above the threshold between 13:00 and 17:00. Similar readings were recorded in Loures, with peaks of 207 µg/m³. The CCDR warned that exposure to ozone can cause symptoms such as coughing, headaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, and eye irritation.
