What North Carolina areas have an ozone problem?
[Back to Top] Typically, high ozone pollution levels occur in urban areas where there are lots of cars, industry and other sources of combustion. However, ozone can travel with the wind to rural areas and become a problem in those areas as well. In North Carolina, our greatest areas of concern are the Charlotte area, the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point), and the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill). However, several other areas of North Carolina have a problem with high ozone levels and exceed (have higher values) than the EPA’s 8-hour ozone standard.
