Denton's air quality reflects the North Texas Barnett Shale natural gas producing region, with methane and VOC emissions from surrounding gas wells and compressor stations contributing ozone precursors alongside vehicle traffic on I-35E. The flat North Texas plain provides reasonable wind dispersal, while summer heat drives ozone formation from the combined vehicle and natural gas industry emissions across the DFW metroplex northern corridor.
