   Machine summary CAMS finds nearly 40% of the global population was exposed to dangerous ground-level ozone in the first eight months of 2026, driven by extreme heat and human-caused air pollution.

   1. Nearly 40% of the global population was exposed to dangerous ground-level ozone in the first eight months of 2026, per the CAMS Atmosphere Watch report.
   2. Asia is the most ozone-impacted continent globally, followed by Europe and North America.
   3. In many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, ozone pollution is above the level recommended by the World Health Organization.
   4. Data from the American Lung Association indicate that in 2026, ozone exposure across the United States exceeds levels from each of the previous five years, and over four of every ten Americans reside in places where air pollution is unhealthy.
   5. The CAMS Atmosphere Watch report combines satellite and ground-based observations with atmospheric modeling, covering data through August 2026.
