Denver’s air quality today is rated as poor, with elevated pollution levels making conditions potentially unhealthy for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues. The main concern is particulate matter under 10 micrometers in diameter, which reached a maximum AQI reading of 63 in the early morning hours. This falls within the moderate to poor range, meaning while the general population is not likely to be affected, people in sensitive groups may experience symptoms like difficulty breathing or throat irritation. Residents are advised to limit prolonged outdoor exertion if they are susceptible to these effects, especially during periods when pollution levels are at their peak. No official air quality advisories have been issued for the Denver metro area, and other pollutants such as ozone and nitrogen dioxide currently remain well within the good range. Ozone readings were last measured at an AQI of 37, which is categorized as good. However, localized pollution levels, particularly for particulate matter, can fluctuate throughout the day, especially near traffic corridors or during inversions.The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment notes that no alerts are currently in effect, but encourages monitoring for any symptoms in sensitive groups. Looking ahead to the next few days, the forecast predicts continued poor air quality, so it will be important to stay informed of changing conditions if you have plans for outdoor activities. Overall, while most residents can go about their routines as usual, those who are particularly sensitive to air quality should take precautions when spending time outdoors today. The next ozone alert season starts in June, so for now, particulate pollution remains the most significant concern for Denver’s air quality.
