Abstract: With the development of natural gas hydraulic fracturing activities, public and policy-makers are concerned about air pollution resulting from cumulative impact of such activities. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the correlation between hydraulic fracturing activities and trends of local ozone pollution in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Kolmogorov-Zurbenko filter was applied to the ozone and meteorological time-series data measured and recorded at sixteen air monitoring sites over the course of fourteen years. Application of such method makes it possible to separate the effects of atmospheric parameters from human activities. According to the results, sites surrounded by fracturing activities show a sudden increase in ozone concentration since 2008 compared to those located farther from gas wells.
