The three-year average of the fourth highest daily maximum eight-hour average must not be greater than .08 ppm (parts per million). Data reported in three decimal places must be rounded to two decimal places.

1-hour Standard 1970 to 1997-no longer applies to any area in Missouri.
A one-hour average of 0.12 ppm (parts per million).

Exceedances allowed without a violation being recorded:
