Entire State is now in compliance with Air Quality Standards


Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced that the entire state is now in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The federal ground level ozone standard of 70 parts per billion was established in 2015.

“All of our citizens deserve to have clean air to breathe, and this achievement is evidence of our commitment to make Louisiana an even better place to live,” said Gov. Edwards. “The public benefits from lowered ozone levels which can impact their quality of health. It can also benefit business and the health of our economy. My thanks to Sec. Chuck Carr Brown and his team at LDEQ along with their partners statewide who are making great progress toward improving Louisiana’s environment.”

Louisiana gained total compliance thanks to improved ozone levels in the greater Baton Rouge area, which is comprised of East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, Ascension and Livingston parishes.
