Daily Maximum Eight-Hour Ozone Averages for August 2018

The table below lists the peak daily maximum eight-hour ozone concentrations measured in August 2018 in each community where the DAQ measures ozone. Concentrations that are rated Moderate or higher are color-highlighted based on the EPA-defined Air Quality Index colors. (See Interpreting the AQI.) All ozone measurements are in parts per billion.

POC (Parameter Occurrence Code): a code used to correctly separate data from multiple instruments at one site.
NV - There are not enough valid eight-hour averages for this day (there must be eighteen valid eight-hour averages).

Interpreting the AQI

Air Quality Index

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.

AQI Breakpoint Definitions
AQI Range	1hr Ozone in ppm	8hr Ozone in ppm
0 - 50	Not Defined	0 - 0.054
51 - 100	Not Defined	0.055 - 0.070
101 - 150	0.125 - 0.164	0.071 - 0.085
151 - 200	0.165 - 0.204	0.086 - 0.105
201 - 300	0.205 - 0.404	0.106 - 0.200
301 - 400	0.405 - 0.504	0.201 - 0.2011
401 - 500	0.505 - 0.604	Not Defined
500+	Not Defined	Not Defined

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, the Clark County DAQ uses a surrogate 8-hour average based on the current hourly average.
