Even under new ozone standard, high ozone days are low
Posted by Roy Cordato on 06 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Uncategorized, Air Quality
Back in March we noted that the EPA had adopted a new, very stringent, threshold for determining what is a “high” or a “code orange” ozone day. The standard was tightened from .085 parts per million (ppm) to .075 ppm. Today the numbers for the 2008 ozone season in North Carolina were released and the results are quite interesting. This year North Carolina averaged 4.2 high ozone days per monitor. There are 46 monitors across the state. This is exactly the same as the annual average under the old, less stringent, standard over the last 10 years. This shows how dramatically ozone levels have improved in our state. Even under the new standard, we had far fewer code orange days in 2008, almost three quarters fewer, than we had under the old standard in 1998.
