The advisory is set to last until at least 4 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Action day alerts mean pollutants, including ozone, are either at unhealthy levels or are expected to reach unhealthy levels later that day or the next. An air quality index value of 101-150 is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups, while 151 and above is unhealthy. <\/p>\n<p>The increased ozone levels means active adults and children, along with people with respiratory disease like asthma, are more likely to have respiratory symptoms and breathing discomfort, public health officials said. Ozone levels are expected to reach the highest levels between noon and 10 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>People can reduce emissions that contribute to ground-level ozone by working from home and skipping their commute or taking public transportation, state officials said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Get more Colorado news by signing up for our daily Your Morning Dozen email newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1515\">\u200bCU Boulder researchers uncover benefits of \u2018super shoes\u2019 \u2014 and yes, they can make you run faster<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1517\">Colorado wildfires: Evacuations partially lifted for Bear fire near Trinidad<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro Denver residents may feel the impact of higher ozone levels making the air quality worse, the Colorado public health officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colorado-news","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
