Johnson County Kansas

The established "ozone season" for the Kansas City region is April 1 through October 31. Five counties in two states work together along with the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to monitor and evaluate sources of air pollution and work to decrease it.

Johnson County is part of a regional air quality monitoring program for Kansas City. There are two current monitoring locations located at Heritage Park. One monitor is for particulate matter and the other is for ozone.
