Eight-Hour Ozone High Value Days for 2012
as of February 12

The table below lists the daily maximum eight-hour ozone concentrations measured which exceed 75 parts per billion in 2012 in each community where the TCEQ 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

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 Exit

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.

0 - 50	Not Defined	0 - 0.059
