Peak Daily One-Hour Ozone Averages for December 2018

The table below lists the peak daily one-hour ozone concentrations measured in December 2018 in each community where the TREX measures ozone. Concentrations are color-highlighted based on the EPA-defined Air Quality Index colors. (See Interpreting the AQI.) All ozone measurements are in parts per billion, and are truncated to an integer number.

The values that go into this table are calculated at 3:30 am each morning. Therefore, the current day will almost always have very low hourly averages that are not truly representative of local conditions for the day. Because of this, the report does not display the current day's data.

Interpreting the AQI

Each NAAQS pollutant has a separate AQI scale, with an AQI rating of 100 corresponding to the concentration of the Federal Standard for that pollutant. Additional information about the AQI and how it can be used is available from the EPA's AirNow web site.

Place your mouse pointer over the scale displayed above to view information about the Air Quality Index, and each of the rating levels.

The actual index calculation is different for each parameter measured and is specified by the EPA. The following table shows the various breakpoints used in calculating the AQI.

• The AQI for ozone is based on either the peak eight-hour running average since midnight OR the peak one-hour measurement since midnight. When calculating air quality for the current day, TREX uses a surrogate 8-hour average based on the current hourly average.

PLEASE NOTE: This data has not been verified by the TREX and may change. This is the most current data, but it is not official until it has been certified by our technical staff. Data is collected from TREX ambient monitoring sites and may include data collected by other outside agencies. This data is updated hourly. All times shown are in local standard time unless otherwise indicated.
