Ozone 8-hour Averages:  Although the federal and state 8-hour average ozone standards are both set at 70 ppb, recorded levels for the state standard are rounded to the nearest whole number, while levels for the federal standard are truncated to the nearest whole number.  For example, a value of 71.6 would be rounded to 72 for the state standard and truncated to 71 for the federal standard.

Particulate Matter: PM10 averages are calculated differently for the state and federal standards. The state 24-hour PM10 value is a rounded average of the monitor’s 24 hourly readings in a day using local ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Whereas the federal 24-hour PM10 value is a truncated average of the monitor’s 24 hourly readings in a day using standardized temperature and pressure conditions. These calculation methods result in slightly different 24-hour averages for each monitoring station on a given day.
