The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has
issued the following...
WHAT...Ozone Action Day Alert.
WHERE...Douglas, Jefferson, Denver, western Arapahoe, western
Adams, Broomfield, Boulder, Larimer, and Weld Counties
WHEN...400 PM Tuesday June 15 to 400 PM Wednesday June 16
IMPACTS...Ozone Action Day Alert is now in effect for the Front
Range Urban Corridor. Requests to limit driving of non-ZEV
vehicles (i.e., gas or diesel) are now in effect until at least 4
p.m. Wednesday, June 16, 2021. Ozone concentrations are expected
to be in the Moderate to Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range on
Tuesday and Wednesday. Concentrations of ozone in the Unhealthy
for Sensitive Groups category are most likely for locations in the
southern and western portions of the Denver metro area, and
northward along the Front Range and lower foothills to include
Boulder, Longmont, Fort Collins, and Greeley. For areas included
in this advisory that are not expected to reach the Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups (USG) air quality designation, we request that
activities, such as driving non- ZEV vehicles (i.e., gas or
diesel), be reduced to lessen the impacts on neighboring air
quality. Additional air pollution in this region may directly
worsen air quality or contribute to precursors which may also
adversely affect air quality. For Colorado air quality
