A month into a hot Texas summer, Dallas-Fort Worth already has surpassed the number of poor air quality days reported in all of 2023.

As of July 18, the region had reported 17 days that ground-level ozone, or smog, exceeded levels considered healthy for all populations. In 2023, the area reported 13 ozone air quality alerts.
