What is the ground-level ozone standard in NC?
[Back to Top] The Federal standard for ground-level ozone is 0.075 parts per million (ppm), averaged over an 8-hour period. This is often referred to as the “8-hour standard” and replaces an older “1-hour standard” of 0.125 ppm. Levels of 0.076 ppm and above exceed the Federal ground-level ozone standard.
