B. False
These cautionary statements and measures to reduce risk from air pollution exposure can be found at http://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=static.aqi. For example, when the AQI Index Value for ozone is between 101 and 150, or Code Orange, air quality is considered "unhealthy for sensitive groups," and active children and adults, and people with lung disease, such as asthma, are advised to reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
