Flags in Gaston County ozone alert debate grows
Ground level ozone remains a health risk with Gaston and seven nearby counties designated as ozone non attainment areas since 2001. Officials discuss flying public safety flags but warn against misinterpretation as homeland security alerts. About 20 Gaston locations may fly flags to raise awareness as traffic and emissions drive ozone levels.
