Answer
What long-term changes could help reduce ozone in Mallorca?
The most effective long-term steps include cleaner transport, better public transport, more shade and green space, and urban planning that reduces heat islands. Electrifying taxis, buses and delivery fleets would also help lower the pollution that feeds ozone formation. Because the problem crosses municipal boundaries, coordination across the Balearic Islands is important.
