The air quality in the front range has been worse than ever in recent weeks, even brie y landing the Mile High City in the top spot as the most polluted on the planet, according to IQAir.com, which tracks air quality for major cities around the world. And, unfortunately, with wild res burning in California, the smoke and smog that has settled in the Front Range is forecasted to remain for the near future.
The impacts of air pollution can cause health risks for residents across the state, particularly older adults, children and people with respiratory conditions, like asthma. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment cautions Coloradans to remain indoors and avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. However, humans aren’t the only ones
