Another Start to the Ozone Season

According to the Regional Air Quality Council, the summer ozone season has just started.

For many of us though, the ozone season has already been very active, with concentrations rising to unhealthy levels many times in March, April, and May. Ozone, otherwise known as smog, remains a health threat to everyone living in the Denver metro area.

The message in all this is that we all continue to be at risk from smog. So what can we do? The Regional Air Quality Council actually has some good suggestions for simple things people can do to help keep smog in check.

But to really get at smog in the Denver metro area, it's going to be up to us to make sure polluters--like the oil and gas industry and coal burning power plants--take steps to keep their smog forming pollution in check. When it's all said and done, our efforts to keep smog in check don't add up to much when massive amounts of smog forming pollution are spewed from factories, power plants, and oil and gas developments.

Stay tuned for ways you can help.
