The Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has declared an Ozone Action Day for the Tyler...Longview...Marshall areas of East Texas for Thursday.

Atmospheric conditions are expected to be favorable for producing high levels of ozone pollution in the Tyler-Longview area on Thursday. You can help prevent ozone pollution by sharing a ride, walking or riding a bicycle, taking your lunch to work, avoiding drive-through lanes, conserving energy, and keeping your vehicle properly tuned.

If required...the next Ozone Action Day notice will be issued by 300 pm on Thursday.
