Mean yearly ground level ozone concentrations ranged from 53 - 96 µg/m3. In some stations, the 8-hour levels exceeded the limit values for human health protection, particularly in the stations used for monitoring of the pollution from automobile transport in the Rīga centre (60 days) and in Liepāja (18 days) and in the urban background station in Olaine (13 days).

The level when residents must be warned (180 µg/m3) was not exceeded.
