How do heatwaves harm air?

Heatwaves create conditions where air pollution gets worse, as explained in the story. Higher temperatures can lead to more ground-level ozone pollution, which is harmful to our lungs. They also dry out vegetation, making wildfires more likely. The smoke from these fires then adds a lot of harmful particles to the air, making it harder to breathe and damaging health.
