The peer-reviewed study, published in the Nature Portfolio journal npj Clean Air on June 12, reports that surface ozone reaches 85-110 micrograms per cubic metre (μg/m³) in northern India during heatwaves and exceeds the World Health Organization guideline of 70 μg/m³ in every region of the country. The levels fall back within three to four days of a heatwave ending. Because ozone levels stay high for much of the season, the study attributes a large number of deaths to it even outside heatwaves.
