And Then There's Today
Fine Particle Haze in Denver This Afternoon.As if yesterday's fine particle pollution wasn't bad enough, it looks like Denver's on track to again exceed health standards today.
As of 6 P.M., the average fine particle pollution, in micrograms per cubic meter was 57 in downtown Denver, 59 at Chatfield Reservoir, and 49 at National Jewish (at Colfax and Colorado). To protect our health, federal standards require fine particle pollution to be limited to no more than 35 micrograms per cubic meter over a 24-hour period.
It looks like we need to be taking steps not just to clear the air of smog, but fine particle pollution here in Denver.
