On Monday, Colorado was covered in a haze due to smoke from wildfires in Canada, and it is expected to persist for at least 24 hours. As a result, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Regional Air Quality Council issued public health advisories, urging people to limit their time outdoors. The smoke has also caused an increase in ozone and fine particulate matter levels, as indicated by air monitors in northern Colorado and the Front Range. These particulates, which can include smoke, soot, ash, or liquid particles, can be harmful if inhaled. To learn more, visit TheKnow.DenverPost.com.
