Here is a list of the North Carolina counties that violate the EPA's 8-hour ozone standard of 0.075 parts per million. Also listed are the counties that would violate the more stringint standard of 0.060 ppm that has been recomended by the scientists at the EPA. The 0.075 ppm threshold was set by the political appointees who rejected the scientist's recommendation. The old standard was 0.080 ppm.

North Carolina Alexander 0.075
North Carolina Avery 0.069
North Carolina Buncombe 0.074
North Carolina Caldwell 0.073
