Nature’s Way of Telling You: Parker County is 7th DFW Monitor to Violate 85ppb Ozone Standard

Yesterday was September 26th. Saturday will be October 1 and the “official” end of the DFW “ozone season.” We’re supposed to be winding down the orange alerts and high ozone levels of Smogust. But someone didn’t tell September.  Besides creating some records highs early in the month, yesterday saw both the Parker County and Keller monitors with extremely high ozone levels – in the triple digits – set a new Parker County seasonal high of 96 ppb, and pushed the Parker monitor into being the 7th DFW monitor to violate the old 85 ppb standard.
