Request to limit driving gas and diesel- powered vehicles is now in effect until midnight, Monday night, June 17, 2024. Ozone concentrations are expected to reach levels that are Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups on Monday. The highest concentrations are most likely in the southwestern and western portions of the Denver Metro area, from Chatfield State Park northward through Golden. Cooler temperatures and breezy winds are expected to keep ozone in the Good to Moderate range on Tuesday. For areas included in this advisory that are not expected to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) air quality designation, we request that activities, such as driving non-ZEV vehicles (i.e., gas or diesel), be reduced to lessen the impacts on neighboring air quality. Additional air pollution in this region may directly worsen air quality or contribute to precursors which may also adversely affect air quality.
