Ozone levels and why?

I've been really sick this weekend and I always am when Ozone levels are moderate and higher, and I've always been curious about what causes this, and why these annoying symptoms... I know there are a lot of people out there with this same 'allergy' I guess.

Individuals with asthma and other respiratory illnesses have a more difficult time breathing when the ozone level is higher because ozone can damage the cells in your airways. When you already have respiratory problems, this aggrevates the lungs and makes the problem worse. Ozone is not an allergy but an irritant.

ozone has free radicals and they can attack the lung. it's why they have ozone warnings in cities now

i dint have allergies but a couple weeks ago went outside for maybe 10 minutes had a coughing attack for two hours straight looked on the web about ozone that day the ozone was in the red very dangerous to be outside its from too much pollution from what i have read
