Colorado health officials on Friday advised the elderly, children and residents with respiratory ailments in metro Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Greeley to limit outdoor activity as smoke spreads into the state from fires burning in Canada.

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment officials on Friday morning issued a health advisory covering most of eastern Colorado, effective through Friday night, anticipating air quality will be “unhealthy for sensitive groups.” Smoke containing fine particulates was reducing the air quality, evident as a brown-gray haze mixing with fog Friday morning in Denver, obscuring views of downtown buildings and mountains to the west of the city.
Medical experts warn of potential “compounding” health effects when particulate air pollution mixes with the ground-level ozone pollution afflicting Colorado’s Front Range cities, for which the state has become a severe violator of federal health standards. Heavy wildfire smoke transported from Canadian wildfires can be found throughout northeastern Colorado on Friday, including Denver and the entire northern Front Range region. Please slow it down and limit your time outdoors.
