Denver and Aurora rank 7th worst in the nation for ozone. Fort Collins, 18th.
The story of the danger is hard to explain notes Dr. Anthony Gerber, a professor of medicine and pulmonologist at National Jewish Health. “It’s such a great city and state to be outside and to be healthy. So it is tough when the air quality stinks,” said Leslie Paffe, who lives only two and a half miles from downtown. Ozone continues to be a problem says Dr. Gerber.They expel the volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen and sunlight, produce ozone. Ozone helps cut harmful rays in the upper atmosphere, but at ground level, it’s bad breathing.
