The Alba air monitoring station is located downwind of Joplin. It is used to measure the anticipated maximum ozone concentration formed by precursor pollutants from the urbanized area. The population of the Joplin area is not likely to be exposed to ozone concentrations any higher than those monitored at this location.
To learn about other air monitoring sites the department operates as part of the state's ambient air monitoring network, visit Air Monitoring Sites.
