Denver’s air quality today is in the Moderate range, with the highest recorded Air Quality Index, or AQI, reaching 68 for particulate matter less than 10 micrometers early in the morning. Throughout much of the city, the AQI has hovered between the high 50s and mid 60s, primarily driven by fine particulate pollution. Ozone and other pollutants remain in the Good category.
Moderate air quality means that air pollution levels are acceptable for most people, but there is a slight risk for individuals who are unusually sensitive to airborne particles, such as those with respiratory or heart conditions. These individuals should consider reducing prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, especially if they notice symptoms like coughing or throat irritation.
No air quality advisories are currently in effect for Denver or the surrounding Front Range Urban Corridor. Carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide remain well within Good levels, and ozone is expected to remain in the Good category through the weekend. The highest particulate concentrations were seen near the South Platte River corridor, from Denver northward, but pollution levels are projected to improve in the coming days.
In terms of visibility, conditions are likely to be moderate to poor at times on Saturday in the Denver area, with improvements expected beginning Sunday. The overall health risk for the Denver area today is considered very low for the general population, and 90 percent of the year’s days so far have been within the World Health Organization’s recommended air quality guidelines.
Outdoor activities can proceed as usual for most of Denver’s residents, though those with heightened sensitivity may wish to monitor symptoms and remain indoors during periods of increased particulate matter, especially during the early morning hours when daily AQI tends to peak. For most, today’s air remains suitable for work, school, and recreation outdoors.
