Thank you to all who biked to work today in Denver & the Front Range! #BiketoWorkDay

Taking this simple step in the summer helps reduce vehicle emissions that lead to the formation of ground-level ozone on hot, sunny days.

Ozone on Wednesday not quite as high as originally anticipated due to westerly winds. However, ozone looks like it will be higher again on Thursday. Highest ozone on Thursday likely from SW Denver suburbs northward to around Golden during the PM hours. https://t.co/gO0dyzMPUI

[Simple Steps. Better Air. @ozoneaware]

Want #BetterAir in the #FrontRange on Tuesday?

Wait until after 5PM to fill up with gas, & stop at the first click, to reduce releasing emissions that lead to #ozone formation during the heat of the day. #FillAfter5

Even better, plan to go electric! #SimpleStepsBetterAir

[CDPHE Air Pollution @cdpheapcd]

Ozone not at high levels on Monday, but will be on the rise for Tuesday, particularly from the western Denver suburbs northward up to Boulder. Morning exercise a better option than the afternoon if you have that choice. https://t.co/gO0dyzMPUI

[Simple Steps. Better Air. @ozoneaware]

Ground-level ozone may reach levels unhealthy for sensitive groups tomorrow afternoon: Thursday, June 6, 2024. The highest concentrations will be in western portions of the Northern Front Range Region.

Don’t idle your car: Roll down the windows and turn the engine off instead.

[Simple Steps. Better Air. @ozoneaware]

Take it easy this afternoon outside, and take simple steps for better air!

Combine your car trips and errands today to reduce emissions that create ground-level ozone.

DYK that ozone and particle pollution can affect asthma? Ozone is found in smog & particle pollution is found in haze, smoke, and dust. Studies show that when ozone & particle pollution are in the air, people with asthma, and other lung diseases, are more likely to have symptoms.
