Ozone (O3)

Updated: Monthly April through October.

National Ambient Air Monitoring Standard:

8-hour Standard
The three-year average of the fourth highest daily maximum 8-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:
The term exceedance does not apply to the eight-hour standard. The three-year average is used to determine designation of attainment or non-attainment.

DISCLAIMER: Yearly and quarterly data shown below has been subject to data review and validation procedures by the reporting agency. Monthly data and data shown graphically is raw, unreviewed and unvalidated data.

The units for all averages in this chart are parts per million.

Inhalable Particulate (PM2.5)

Updated: Within 90 days after the end of a quarter.

National Ambient Air Monitoring Standard: (24-hour samples; one taken every third day) A three-year average of the 98th percentile 24-hour averages equal or greater than 35 ug/m³ (micrograms per cubic meter) and/or a three-year average of annual averages equal or greater than 15.0 ug/m³ (micrograms per cubic meter).

Exceedances allowed without a violation being recorded: Two percent of daily observations

The units for all averages in this chart are micrograms per cubic meter.
