The New Bloomfield air monitor lies downwind of the Jefferson City metropolitan statistical area to help determine exposure of a population segment to ground-level ozone and to monitor attainment of the federal ambient air quality standards. In 2009, when the department began monitoring ground-level ozone in New Bloomfield, it also began monitoring the pollutant in three other outstate areas: Alba, Finger Lakes and Savannah.
