Today in Denver, air quality is generally good with some moderate levels of particulate matter detected early in the morning. As of 1 AM Mountain Standard Time, the ozone Air Quality Index is recorded at 38, which falls into the Good category, indicating the air is clear and safe for most people. The highest particulate matter measurement, specifically PM2.5, reached an index of 56, classified as Moderate. This means air quality is acceptable for the general public, but those who are unusually sensitive, such as people with respiratory conditions, heart disease, older adults, or very young children, should consider reducing prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion during the day.

Pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide are predicted to remain in the Good range throughout the day. Overall, ozone concentrations are expected to stay between Good and Moderate, with the only caution for unusually sensitive individuals to limit strenuous activities outdoors between noon and 8 pm. Visibility is expected to be good, though there could be brief periods of reduced visibility during any passing showers or thunderstorms.

No air quality advisories or action days are in effect as of this morning, and there currently are no reports of significant wildfire smoke impacts in Denver. Therefore, outdoor conditions are favorable for most activities, but it remains wise for sensitive individuals to monitor air quality updates and take simple precautions if they notice symptoms when air quality is moderate.

Denver’s air quality today reflects a typical late summer day with manageable pollutant levels and no significant health threats to the broader public. Those planning outdoor exercise or events can do so with confidence, though it’s never a bad idea to check the latest updates if weather or smoke conditions change later in the day. For most, the air in Denver today poses little to no risk, supporting a safe and active Saturday outdoors[1][3][5].
