Data Notes
These data include "exceptional events", such as high winds, fires, construction, fireworks, etc. [[br]]
[[br]] Product of the total population of the county and the number of days over the daily National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone.
Data are not available prior to 2004 because there were no air monitors in the county, or 8-hour averages were not collected.Data Sources
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Air Quality System (AQS)
- Population Estimates: National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through a collaborative agreement with the U.S. Census Bureau, IBIS Version 2018

Definition
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ozone standard states that the 8-hour average ozone level should not exceed 0.070 ppm. These standard levels are often referred to as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). This level is considered protective for most people and within the normal defensive capacities of the human respiratory system.^1-3^[[br]]
