# 1. Executive screening summary

The county of ADAMS has an annual maximum AQI of 161, which corresponds to ozone levels. The average PM2.5 concentration is 7.179 µg/m³, and the maximum PM2.5 AQI recorded is 102. There were 366 days with PM2.5 data, and 339 days with ozone data. The county experienced 2 unhealthy days and 20 days with unhealthy air for sensitive groups.

# 2. Industrial profile

The county has 99 facility candidates, with 78 distinct owners and 22 distinct NAICS codes. The top facility owners include "LAFARGE WEST, INC.", "CRIMSON EXPLORATION, INC", and "KOCH HYDROCARBON CO". The top NAICS codes are 211130, 212321, and 221112. The top zip codes with facility activity are 80137, 80022, and 80102.

# 3. PM2.5 and ozone signal

The highest AQI recorded was 161, which was for ozone on July 23, 2024. The PM2.5 AQI reached a maximum of 102. The average ozone level was 0.03608 ppm, and the average PM2.5 level was 7.179 µg/m³. Ozone data was collected over 339 days, while PM2.5 data was collected over 366 days.

# 4. Highest PM2.5 dates

The highest PM2.5 levels were recorded on July 23, 2024, with an average arithmetic mean of 32.94 µg/m³. The following dates also showed elevated PM2.5 levels: July 24, 2024 (32.57 µg/m³), July 22, 2024 (26.57 µg/m³), July 25, 2024 (24.99 µg/m³), and August 1, 2024 (23.45 µg/m³).

# 5. Confounders and missing data

Potential confounders include wildfire smoke, regional transport, meteorology, temperature inversion, agricultural dust, oil and gas activity, traffic, monitor siting limitations, data completeness, and seasonal patterns. Missing data includes facility-level emissions, permit violation records, hospitalization data, wind/smoke data, causal models, and source apportionment.

# 6. What cannot be concluded

No conclusions can be drawn regarding causation, permit violations, enforcement priorities, compliance status, or health attribution. The evidence does not support these inferences.

# 7. Recommended next data pulls and policy addendum candidates

Further data pulls should include facility-level emissions, structured permit violation records, hospitalization data, and wind/smoke data. Policy addendums could focus on monitoring, emissions reporting, and regional air quality coordination.
