Requests to limit driving of non-ZEV vehicles (i.e., gas or diesel) are now in effect until at least 4 p.m. Friday, August 12, 2022. Ozone concentrations in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category are likely both Thursday and Friday during the afternoons and evenings. On Thursday, ozone concentrations in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category are likely throughout the northern Front Range region. On Friday, ozone concentrations in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category will mainly be confined to locations in and near the Denver metro area, along with southern parts of Weld County. 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.
