The  team is peppering the basin with chemistry instruments for six weeks, to  understand where the ingredients of ground-level ozone are coming from,  and how local conditions contribute to record-breaking ozone levels.  Understanding exactly why ozone pollution levels spike should help  energy companies and local officials prevent poor air quality events or  lessen their impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ozone pollution is supposed to be a problem in big cities with lots of traffic in the hot summer.
