Preble NCore is an air monitoring station located at 6940 Oxford Gettysburg Road in New Paris, Preble County, Ohio, United States. The station is part of the NCORE (National Core) network, a subset of the U.S. EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) that focuses on long-term, high-quality measurements of criteria pollutants, air toxics, and meteorological parameters. Operated by the Dayton Regional Air Pollution Control Agency, the station plays a key role in regional air quality monitoring. The station operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Clean Air Act and the EPA's AQS monitoring network. NCORE stations are designed to provide representative data for urban and regional air quality assessments. The station measures a range of pollutants including ozone, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides, along with meteorological parameters such as wind speed and direction. This comprehensive data supports air quality modeling and trend analysis. Preble NCore contributes to the understanding of air quality in the Miami Valley region, which includes industrial and agricultural sources. The station's long-term data helps track compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and supports public health advisories. Its location in a rural area provides background concentrations that are valuable for distinguishing local sources from regional transport.
Environmental context
Preble County is a rural area in western Ohio with a mix of agriculture and light industry. Air quality in the region is influenced by emissions from transportation, agricultural activities, and industrial sources in nearby urban centers. The NCORE station's measurements of criteria pollutants and meteorology help assess regional air quality trends and support the development of emission reduction strategies. The station's data is also used to evaluate the effectiveness of air quality regulations and to inform public health protection measures.
