PM2.5 Daily Standard Design Values for 2004-2006 in NC Counties

Table 1. The following table shows 3-year averages for the 98th percentile of PM2.5 concentrations. The first column lists the county; the second lists the average value for that county (rounded to the specifications of the standard). In Counties with more than one PM2.5 monitoring site, the value reported is the highest 3-year average among the inclusive sites. Averages for the counties marked with an asterisk are "unofficial estimates", because a sample size requirement ("data completeness") was not satisfied.
