CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Extended from today's air quality advisory for all of Northeast Ohio, ground-level ozone is expected to rise to levels considered unhealthy for sensitive groups on Sunday, especially for Cleveland, Akron and Lorain, according to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

The alert doesn't affect the general public, but rather people with lung disease, older adults and children. These groups are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone and from the presence of pollution particles in the air, according to the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency.

The Ohio EPA says "residents, businesses and local governments should voluntarily reduce activities that contribute to ozone air pollution."

Some ways to be proactive include:

Reducing or eliminating unnecessary motor vehicle trips.

Carpooling or use public transportation.

Setting your home or office air conditioning thermostat slightly higher.

Refueling vehicles and mow grass after 7 p.m.
