Shreveport Air Quality

Blue Sky Graphic

There are six "criteria" pollutants for which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set national ambient air quality standards:

• ground level ozone

• particulate matter

• carbon monoxide

• nitrogen dioxide

• sulfur dioxide

• lead

Shreveport's air quality is in attainment with all of these standards. Ground level ozone (also known as smog) is a concern throughout the country during the hottest months of the year. There are 2 monitors which measure and record gound level ozone in the Shreveport area:

• One is located in Dixie, Louisiana, north of town

• The other is located at Shreveport Downtown Airport

The monitors are maintained by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.

If you want to know the latest hourly ozone levels at these monitors, please call (318) 676-5415.
