The Fellows Lake air monitoring station is located north of Springfield. It is used mainly to characterize ozone concentrations downwind of Springfield. Specifically, it is used to determine exposure of a segment of the Springfield area population to ozone. Fellows Lake meets the requirement in federal regulation for monitoring exposure to ozone of population in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
