Today in Denver, air quality is a mix of good news and some caution for sensitive groups. The most recent data shows that ozone concentrations are expected to range from moderate to unhealthy for sensitive groups on Sunday. During the afternoon, active children, adults, and those with respiratory conditions such as asthma should consider limiting prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, especially from noon to 8 pm. For most of the northern Front Range, including Denver, ozone levels may reach the higher end in the afternoon, but generally remain moderate for the rest of the day.

Fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, remains in the good category, indicating low risk from those pollutants. The most recent PM2.5 measurement was 46, which is well within safe limits. Carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide levels are also forecasted to remain in the good range, so concerns from those pollutants are minimal.

Visibility on Sunday is expected to be good across the Denver area, another indicator of relatively clean air aside from the ozone concerns.

Ozone is the primary concern today. Elevated ground-level ozone can cause short-term breathing issues and may trigger asthma attacks. Everyone is advised to avoid strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours, particularly during Colorado’s summer ozone season. Prolonged exposure to high ozone levels can have lasting impacts, especially on sensitive populations such as children, older adults, and people with pre-existing lung diseases. For others, the air quality is expected to be acceptable for outdoor activities outside the midday and afternoon peak.

In summary, while Denver enjoys good to moderate air quality in most respects, ozone pollution will reach levels this afternoon that warrant caution for sensitive groups. Those individuals should aim to stay indoors or reduce physical activity during the hottest and sunniest parts of the day. Overall, today’s air quality is typical for this time of year and manageable with some minor precautions for those at higher risk[1].
