The county's PM2.5 and ozone monitoring data show a maximum AQI of 86 for PM2.5 and 161 for ozone. Ozone levels reached a peak AQI of 161 on July 23 and 24, 2024, with arithmetic means of 0.075941 and 0.074154 ppm, respectively. PM2.5 data show elevated levels on July 23 and 24, with average arithmetic means of 27.81875 and 24.447916 µg/m³.

# 4. Highest PM2.5 dates

The highest PM2.5 levels occurred on July 23 and 24, 2024, with average arithmetic means of 27.81875 and 24.447916 µg/m³, respectively. Other high PM2.5 days include October 1, 2024, and January 20, 2024, with average arithmetic means of 23.502083 and 23.127083 µg/m³.

# 5. Confounders and missing data

Potential confounders include wildfire smoke, regional transport, meteorology, temperature inversion, agricultural dust, oil and gas activity, traffic, and monitor siting limitations. Missing data include facility-level emissions, permit violation records, hospitalization data, wind and smoke data, and no causal model or 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 assertions about the sources of air quality issues or their health impacts.

# 7. Recommended next data pulls and policy addendum candidates

Additional data pulls should include facility-level emissions, permit violation records, hospitalization data, and wind/smoke data. Policy addendums could focus on monitoring improvements, industrial activity assessments, and regional air quality coordination.
