NORTHGLENN, Colo. — A lot of people move to Colorado because they think the state has great air quality. But they soon learn about air quality alerts. That was the message KC Becker, who works with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as an administrator for the region including Colorado, had on Wednesday.
Now, the EPA is partnering with several counties on the Front Range to expand air quality monitoring in the hopes more information can help guide Coloradans on when it's safe to spend time outside, and inform lawmakers on how to improve the air we breathe.New air quality monitors are “just one way that the EPA, with the state and with local governments, are really trying to keep track of that, and do the best we can to address it,” she said.
With those funds, the counties will install more air quality monitors and share the information gathered with the public through a website and phone app called Love My Air. This will expand on Denver’s existing air quality database. Air quality monitors can detect “the very smallest particles that you breathe in, get in your blood, go to your brain and cause all sorts of problems,” Tafoya said.
