PHOENIX - An ozone health watch has been issued for Tuesday as pollution levels may exceed the federal health standard.

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality says that active children and adults, and people with lung diseases should avoid outdoor exertion.

The department says that other tips to help mitigate elevated pollution include avoiding long lines in drive-thru windows, unplugging unused appliances, gassing up the car after dark and carpooling.
