Clean Air Action Day is Aug. 5, 2020. 

North Texans are uniting to practice social distancing in the fight against COVID-19. While we are all doing our part to create healthy social spaces, we can double many social distancing strategies, such as working from home, as clean air strategies.

Below are clean air strategies you can implement from home or when you must leave your home for essential trips. Consider signing up for air pollution alerts and incorporating a strategy or two from the list below on Clean Air Action Day and/or when ozone levels are predicted to be high.

Most importantly, in conjunction with all of your actions, please continue to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations at home and in public to protect yourself and others.

For more information about how to implement some of these clean air actions, visit website link below.
