Why does Ozone Matter?
Ground-level ozone is the Colorado Front Range’s most pressing air pollution problem! It forms when fossil fuel emissions combine on hot, sunny summer days. At higher concentrations, breathing in ground-level ozone irritates our throats and lungs, increases our susceptibility to respiratory infections, and exacerbates ailments such as asthma.
What is an “Ozone Action Day Alert”?
Between late May and mid-September, Simple Steps. Better Air. and the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) issue ground-level ozone advisories in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Known as “Ozone Action Day Alerts,” these advisories forecast the days most likely to have higher ozone concentrations and negatively affect our health. The alerts last between 4 p.m. of the first day, until midnight, or until 4 p.m. of the following day. They can be extended for multiple days if needed.
