Eight-Hour Ozone High Value Days for 2009
The table below lists the daily maximum eight-hour ozone concentrations measured which meet or exceed 75 parts per billion in 2009 in each community where IDEM measures ozone. This information is updated hourly. Concentrations are color-highlighted based on the EPA-defined Air Quality Index colors. (See Interpreting the AQI.) Times shown are in 24-hour format and are Local Standard Time. Our convention is that the time reflects the beginning of the eight-hour average. All ozone measurements are in parts per billion.

Interpreting the AQI

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 EPAExit.

The AQI scale is divided into the following categories:

Air Quality
GoodModerateUnhealthy
(for sensitive groups)
