Fort Worth's air quality faces Barnett Shale natural gas emissions from the surrounding Tarrant County well field combining with heavy vehicle traffic on the I-820 and I-30 corridors, producing elevated volatile organic compound and NOₓ readings that contribute to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex's ongoing ozone challenge. The flat North Texas plain provides reasonable wind dispersal on most days.
