The site has had to close early many days in recent weeks due to high demand. Adams County’s 14-day test positivity rate was 15.9 percent, as of Nov. 17, according to Tri-County Health Department. Brighton and Commerce City’s test positivity rates were both higher than 13 percent. Forty- ve people in Brighton and 29 in Commerce City have died from COVID-19 related health issues. To limit the spread of COVID-19, at least 15 counties moved to tighter restrictions that prohibits indoor and personal gatherings.

Ozone is the toxic air pollutant that has a lot of smart people on the Front Range really befuddled right now.

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado is making big cuts to greenhouse gases, mainly by closing coal-ﬁred power plants even faster than expected. New laws, and old cars switched out for new ones, have made steep cuts to the amount of nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds emitted in the nine northern Front Range counties.But we’ve been getting worse, not better, in the past few years on ozone, that asthma-inducing gas cooked up by a combination of nitrogen oxide, volatile organic compounds, hot sunlight and wildﬁre smoke. We’ve had 38 Ozone Action Alert Days called already this year, with more to come before temperatures cool Rememberoff.that the EPA has now set the limit of average ozone at 70 parts per billion. And since we are regularly hitting ozone measurements into the 80s, the EPA is about to formally declare us in “severe” nonattainment of their limits. Here’s a chart that Why is it so hard to cut ozoneColorado northern Front Range has

journey to Central or South America, and others that were already on their way. They caught house wrens, song sparrows, Wilson’s warblers and more yellow warblers than you can imagine, put identification bands on their legs and set them free.At 93, Popp loves birds. And on Aug. 26, Grein woke her up extra early so she could see dozens of them up close. Barr Lake State Park is one of five sites across Colorado and Nebraska where visitors can watch staff from The Bird Conservancy of the Rockies conduct bird banding each fall. Bird banding is a method used to collect data about wild birds to increase scientific understanding of migratory routes and timings, species’ range limits, average lifespans and how all these life-history characteristics may be changing over time. On the state park property, there are 25 barely visible nets, so thin they’re called mist nets, volunteer Cynde Barnes said. Birds fly into these nets and gently fall into a pocket, where volunteers and staff retrieve them to bring to the banding station, she said.

Migratory stopover Within the larger mission of conservation, it’s important to care for the habitats where birds spend time, Barnes said. Barr Lake State Park is an important stopover on the migratory path for many species, as it provides food, water, shelter and space, she said. “This is an absolute important migratory stopover,” she said. “It’s not just a minor little thing. So we want to preserve Barr Lake and we want people to understand what an absolute gem they have in their backyard, because so many people from Brighton have never even beenVisitorshere.”can register online to spend a morning at the site to learn about bird banding like Grein and Popp did. The station is open to the public TuesdaysSundays until Oct. 23. Visiting the station costs $6 per person.

At the station, bander and volunteer coordinator Meredith McBurney measure the width of each bird’s leg to determine which size band would be the best ﬁt. She then attaches a lightweight aluminum band to one leg on each bird. “So every bird gets a band, every band has a different number. And of course if it’s caught again, we know exactly which one it is,” McBurney said, pausing every now and then to announce measurements of the bird’s wingspan, tail feathers, weight, amount of fat and stage of molting to a volunteer keeping track of the numbers on a handwritten chart. This data is sent to the U.S. Geological Survey, which gathers data from banders across the nation to analyze and track migratory patterns and population wellbeing, McBurney said. When a banded bird is caught in a different location, it provides information about that bird’s travel path, she said. ‘Ancestry dot com’ approach In addition to taking note of the band number and measurements, McBurney collects two feathers from some of the birds she catches. These feathers are sent to Colorado State University to contribute to the Bird Genoscape Project, she said. “In order to be able to conserve birds, we have to be able to understand their full lifecycle. That is everything that happens to the bird during the year,” McBurney said. “One of the ways we can do that, besides putting on a band and catching it again, is to look at the DNA.”

In addition to the educational value of learning about bird conservation, experiencing bird banding up close can be magical, no matter what age you are.

“It’s like being a child again, you know?” Popp said. “It’s wonderful.”

“The Bird Genoscape Project is a genomics-based project where we are looking to sort of take an ‘ancestry dot com’ approach to avian genetics,” said Jacob Job, associate director of theTheproject.project started in 2009 as a partnership between scientists at CSU and the University of California, Los Angeles, Job said. In 2019, the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies started to contribute DNA samples to the project, McBurney said. Banding is scientiﬁcally useful to understand overall population patterns but it has its limits. Collecting DNA samples can take scientists well beyond those limitations, Job said. “Part of the problem with banding is you have to recover those same birds…That’s very difﬁcult,” Job said. “Our approach, we don’t ever have to recapture a bird… If we capture an American Robin in the winter in Mexico, all we have to do is pull a feather from that bird, look at its genetics, and we can see which population that bird came from.” Job said the project helps scientists to better understand which subspecies are struggling and which are doing well, so that conservation energy and money can be directly applied where it is most needed.

1. EAT BETTER – According to the AHA, Americans should aim for an overall healthy eating pattern that includes whole foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, nuts, seeds and cooking non-tropical oils such as olive and canola.

TIPS TO A HEART-HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

2. BE MORE ACTIVE – Adults should get 2.5 hours of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. Kids should have 60 minutes every day, including play and structured activities.

A chieving optimal heart health in the U.S. is not looking promising as Americans continue to lose ground. According to a recent study published by the American College of Cardiology, or ACC, only 6.8% of American adults have achieved optimal heart health. It breaks down ﬁ ve key areas that affect heart health:• sugar Blood pressure disease

4. GET HEALTHY SLEEP – Sleep is a new addition to the Essential 8 list in 2022. It is estimated that adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Children require more through nighttime rest and naps.

The Essential 8 list includes:

Each year, the American Heart Association, or AHA, releases a checklist known as Life’s Essential 8. The list provides key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health, which helps lower risk of heart diseases, stroke and other major health problems. In unveiling the 2022 list, the AHA had some new items and guidance for others, including new suggestions for diet and adding sleep. The Life’s Essential 8 list if comprised of two major areas –Health behaviors and health factors.

3. QUIT TOBACCO –Use of inhaled nicotine delivery products, which includes traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes and vaping, is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., according to AHA. This includes about a third of all death from heart disease. It is estimated that a third of all children between ages 3 and 11 in the U.S. are exposed to secondhand smoke or vaping.

5. MANAGE WEIGHT – Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight has many beneﬁts. Body mass index, a numerical value of weight in relation to height, is a useful gauge, according to the AHA. An optimal BMI is 25.

6. CONTROL CHOLESTEROL – High levels of non-HDL, or bad cholesterol, can lead to heart disease.

7. MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR – Most of the food American eat turns into glucose, which is the sugar that the body uses as energy.

• Cognitive decline and dementia

• Better brain function

Even as more information and education is coming along to redevelop guidelines to achieve optimal heart health, Park said busy people are struggling to meet all ﬁ ve key areas. When it comes to diet, Park said Americans are busy and constantly on the go. That means more fast, easy food. “We are on the go and eating out a lot more,” he said. “That also translates to not having enough time for exercise and we are not getting enough sleep.” Sleep a newer key factor Every year, the AHA updates what is known as Life’s Essential 8, which are key measures for improving and maintaining heart health. Making the 2022 list for the ﬁ rst time is sleep, which Park said should be considered as Americans grow more tired.

• Depression • Elevated blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels • Obesity On the other hand, putting a priority on getting enough rest, according to the AHA, can help with:

Vermont was ranked as the nation’s unhealthiest sleep state. Pennsylvania was ranked on the opposite end of the list as the nation’s healthiest sleep state.

When it comes to eating, Park said this is one of the biggest struggles in making lifestyle changes. When a person is used to the fast-food line every day, taking small steps to realign habits is important.

When it comes to exercise, Park says it is important to take small steps towards achieving big goals. A person can take short walks and runs that will help lead up to exercise and ﬁ tness goals over a short period of time. Park said people often say they do not have time for exercise, which he stresses cannot be completely true.

Park said one of the common struggles between patient and doctor is getting on a realistic plan both can live“Aswith.aphysician, in general, you can tell your patients to do something but it comes down to if they will listen.”

Diet and exercise A constant on the heart health lists from multiple organizations is healthy eating and exercise.The AHA stresses that developing a healthy eating pattern can increase heart health. Besides eating smaller portions in general, the AHA recommends a heavy dose of vegetables and fruits every day, along with limiting sweetened drinks, alcohol and sodium.Avoiding trans-fat is also recommended.When it comes to his patients, Park said diet is a constant discussion for patients suffering from heart disease and having other issues.The second continuous discussion is exercise. According to the AHA,

Nutrition Examination Survey of more than 55,000 U.S. adults over the age of 20 from 1999 to 2018. The data revealed that many Americans meet at least one of the ﬁ ve identiﬁ ed risk factors, leading to potential risk for heart attack or heart failure, stroke or other associated complications such as Type 2 diabetes.Dr. Jeffrey Park, a cardiologist with Aurora Denver Cardiology at The Medical Center of Aurora, said the study results are eye-opening.“Americain general has been experiencing a decline in optimal heart health for some time,” Park said. “It may be surprising but it is also a matter of what we know now compared to what we knew from the past. We learn more as these risk factors are included in the equation.”

To get what is considered by medical professionals as a “healthy” night’s sleep, it is recommended that adults get between seven and nine hours. Children require more at 10 to 16 hours per day with night and naptime.

• Having a stronger immune system•Improving mood and energy

adults should get a weekly total of at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity.

“It is hard to just tell someone to stop doing something they have formed a habit to,” he said. “Instead of just stopping, I encourage people to just start cutting back, taking less.”

Instead, Park said people should listen to their doctors and start implementing the recommendations slowly.

“Sleep is highly important, but I have to admit, even doctors have a lack of sleep,” Park said. “Being well rested makes a huge difference. It is associated with sleep apnea and obesity. Everything, when it comes to the heart, is really interconnected. It also just allows the body to reset.”

The result of a lack of sleep is not just tired people, it is now being associated with poor hearth health. According to AHA, poor sleep can put a person at higher risk for: • Cardiovascular disease

A marathon, not a sprint Park said a common disconnect between doctor and patient is people thinking they have to change lifestyle and everything they are eating and doing all at once. Park said this mentality leads to failure because a person cannot make lifestyle changes in only a day.

According to a recent study released by countingsheep.net, Colorado is one of the states struggling to get enough sleep, ranking 23rd. The study was created through analyzing county health rankings and Google search data. Some of the data to rank each state is based on how many people attempt to treat insomnia with medications.Accordingto the study, overall, in the past year, 30% of Coloradans have not got sufﬁ cient sleep each night, which is over 1.7 million adults. Based on Google search data, it was found that these insufﬁ cient sleepers have searched for sleep medication online 203,760 times over the past year. This indicated 11% of Coloradans who suffer from insomnia treat the condition with sleep medication, ranking the state’s residents as the 23rd unhealthiest sleepers in America.

“Everyone has some time somewhere,” he said. “I waste plenty of time when I think about it.”

“Boys are a little more tricky,” she said. “It is really a societal thing, and every age is different. It is always important to check in and ask questions regularly.”Forany child, Geva said parents should grow concerned if a child is suddenly displaying different character traits or having abrupt changes in mood.Having an established relationship will help parents identify and react when children are struggling.

A child’s gender is also a factor in how much parents should be checking in with their children.

Geva said throughout the year, parents should often work toward doing mental health check-ins with both elementary and high-school level children. Working on time management skills and helping to manage required down time can also help relieve pressure and anxiety students feel today.

Geva said parents can create down time by encouraging a child to just go to the grocery store for a bit, go for a calm, relaxing walk or even stress the importance of play time. “It’s important to do activities that have no real objectives,” Geva said. “Helping to give the child a connection and letting them know they are OK.” While managing activities and time for elementary students is easier, Geva said overseeing how much high schoolers are relaxing and destressing can be more of a challenge.Gevasaid regular communication and encouragement is important for teenagers. For parents, cutting a child a break is also important, Geva said. “If a child is really wanting to shift, change or quit an activity – listen to them,” Geva said. “Allow them to adjust to do what is really best for them.”

It is common when a new school year rolls around for students to be anxious and nervous, but experts agree that stress and worry can continue as the ﬁrst days turn into weeks andDr.months.AnatGeva, a clinical psychologist with the HealthONE Behavioral Health & Wellness Center, said the beginning of a school year can come with a variety of nerves.Some students may be worried that bad things from the previous year will happen again this year.

When it comes to grades and expectations, Geva said parents should keep up with children and have set standards and expectations. However, she recommended only checking grades sporadically to keep tabs on a student rather than“Childrendaily. really do want independence,” Geva said. “But for parents, checking grades sporadically, doing routine check-ins with teachers and keeping in touch with other parents can keep you informed about your child.”

As the school year continues, Geva said parents should also promote structured schedules, regular bedtimes and push for good hygiene and eating habits.Through communication, reasonable expectations and check-ins, Geva said stress and anxiety cannot be completely eliminated for students, but it can be dealt with regularly.

Geva said as students are getting more adjusted to the school year, parents can help stave off some anxiety by talking things out, stressing that something that happened during fall or winter break last year may not happen again this year. A bad grade from a class last year doesn’t mean it will happen again this year.

By nature, Geva said girls are encouraged and naturally tend to express themselves and show emotion.

Parents can be

Geva said other students worry differently. These are the students who may not have had a bad year last year but worry about the unknown, stressing about what could happen and thinking the“Itworst.isnot uncommon to have a student have more anxiety by creating things that could go wrong and really thinking the worst in their minds,” Geva said. For these students, Geva said it’s important to communicate with children and talk them through the created anxiety. Emphasize that the horrible things they are imagining in their minds are likely never going to become reality. These days, students are worried about grades and meeting expectations. They worry about doing well in athletics and participating in various programs. As pressures mount, Geva said a student can stay stressed out and anxious throughout the school year.

Having relationships with other parents is beneﬁcial, Geva said, because children often leave out details about the day. Having other parents talking and telling each other what is going on can help in keeping tabs on the daily activities of the class. “When you hear news, confront (your child),” Geva said. “Tell them the news you have heard from other parents.”

In the United States, high blood pressure during pregnancy is becoming more common, according to the CDC, and medical conditions including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and blood clots during pregnancy all increase stroke risk during and immediately following a pregnancy.Managing conditions like high blood pressure before getting pregnant helps keep you and your baby healthy during pregnancy and beyond. In addition, your health during and immediately after a pregnancy can shape the lifelong health of you and your child. If you’re planning to become pregnant or are currently pregnant, it’s important to regularly monitor your blood pressure.

• Speech difﬁculty – Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence like “The sky is blue.”

The ﬁrst step you can take in reducing your risk for stroke is knowing your blood pressure and keeping it in a healthy range. High blood pressure is the No. 1 preventable cause of stroke, according to the American Heart Association.

hether they are in elementary, high school or college, children and teenagers are always susceptible to getting hurt, so much so that injury designations are split by season in many hospitals.

Because of the variety of symptoms someone with a concussion might show, Abramczyk-Thill said it is important to know the child well and be weary of any sudden changes in the following:

Abramczyk-Thill said which seat a child is sitting in should never about their age. It should always be about their size.

CHILDREN AND TEENS ARE ALWAYS SUSCEPTIBLE TO GETTING HURT TIS THE SEASON FOR INJURIES:

• Inability to recall events prior to or after a hit or fall

Abramczyk-Thill explained that if a child is not big enough to be sitting in a seat with just a seatbelt, their knees do not quite reach properly over the edge of the seat. In the event of a crash, their bodies tend to slip under the seatbelt restraints and serious injuries can happen.

Winter injuries

Abramczyk-Thill said a statistic that may surprise parents is the head injuries associated with sledding. Whether it’s a small hill in the neighborhood or a day trip to the mountains, she said sleds move at a quick speed and crashes often cause head injuries. Because of how hard a person can hit the ground in a crash, Abramczyk-Thill recommends requiring children to wear helmets while sledding. It has become more common in riding bikes, scooters and other equipment, and AbramczykThill said sledding should be added to the“Alist.lot of us grew up without wearing a helmet and, especially for something like sledding, we may not even think about it,” Abramczyk-Thill said. “It’s just important to protect your brain because you only have one.” Arm, leg and head injuries are often associated with the ice. Abramczyk-Thill said whether it is a child, teenager or adult, during the winter ice causes a wide variety of Abramczyk-Thillinjuries. said it is important to clear driveways, sidewalks and areas where children are most active during the winter. It is also important to teach safety to children when ice is present, meaning not walking and playing on it.

Spring and summer In school, spring sports brings baseball, track and ﬁeld and softball, which comes with more head injuries, especially when an athlete is hit by a line drive.The warmer months also bring more outdoor activities, including riding ATVs, Abramczyk-ThillAbramczyk-Thillsaid.said a variety of ages ride ATVs and there are usually lax rules with wearing helmets and rules for passengers.Seeing ATV injuries from a passenger falling without a helmet is common, Abramczyk-Thill.

• Rear-facing seats from birth until ages 2 to 4, depending on weight and state law.

• Forward-facing car seat is not to be used for children until age 5, depending on weight and state law.

• Mood – Are they more irritable and irrational?

CDC recommendations include:

The CDC reported that when it comes to car crashes, a large number of child deaths and injuries are due to improper restraints. In 2019, more than 600 children 12 and younger died in motor vehicle crashes, and more than 91,000 were injured. Of the children 12 and younger who died in a crash (for whom restraint use was known), 38% were not buckled up. Parents and caregivers can make a lifesaving difference by checking whether their children are properly buckled on every trip.

• Are they sad or depressed suddenly?

• Are they getting confused easily and showing cognitive issues?

Amanda Abramczyk-Thill, the injury prevention education outreach coordinator at Children’s Hospital Colorado, said children and teens are always active and injuries come with the territory. From bumps and bruises from a simple bicycle crash to the more serious injuries related to a head bump –Abramczyk-Thill said parents should be constantly in tune with how their children are feeling and acting. Fall injuries In the fall, Abramczyk-Thill said it’s the start of the new school year and sports programs are getting back on track. Kids are playing at recess and the weather is still good enough for bike, scooter and evening activities. “In the fall, (hospitals/doctors) see an uptick in a variety of falls,” she said. “More kids are playing on the playgrounds at recess and sports gets going.”When it comes to elementary-school children, Abramczyk-Thill said the falls on the playground are not usually due to the equipment itself. Instead, it usually comes down to how it is being used. “You have cases where a child may be using equipment that is not quite for their age or size,” she said. “Or, you have cases where the children are using the equipment improperly and that leads to injury.”With playground equipment, besides the traditional scrapes and bruises, Abramczyk-Thill said hospitals see more arm and leg injuries. In sports, Abramczyk-Thill said there are a variety of injuries from everything from football and cheerleading to soccer. In recent years, hockey has also grown in Inpopularity.sports,Abramczyk-Thill said it might be surprising to learn that besides concussions, a common injury doctors see is to the Abramczyk-Thilleye. said in any sport, parents might consider getting protective eye gear for athletes in all sports. This should become as common as the helmet and mouth guards, she added. Learn the signs Because concussions receive the most media attention and are one of the injuries coaches and parents are more vigilant about, it is important to understand the signs and symptoms, especially the subtle ones no one expects.

Abramczyk-Thill said all of these signs can come over days, not immediately after a head injury. According to the Centers for Disease Control, other symptoms of a concussion include:

• Appears dazed and stunned • Moves clumsily • Answers questions slowly • Loses consciousness • Nausea or vomiting • Bothered by light or noise

• Are they complaining of headaches?

“There are some common myths out there,” she said. “One of those being that they will show symptoms right away. Signs and symptoms can be delayed.”

Abramczyk-Thill said concussions are a common theme throughout the year, and doctors see a lot during the winter months.While they see some sports injuries with falls and hits for indoor sports such as basketball and wrestling, the bulk of injuries can come form outside play.

Year-round injuries In what is a year-round struggle for doctors, Abramczyk-Thill said hospitals often see children who were in the wrong car seat or not in one at all.

To find a doctor who takes your insurance, call your insurance company and ask for a list of doctors near you who are in-network or use the insurance company’s website to search for a doctor. It’s also a good idea to call the doctor’s office and ask for confirmation they take your plan. You should have your insurance, Medicare or Medicaid card handy in case the office needs your plan details.

Some of the providers you consider may not be viable options for simple reasons, like their practice isn’t currently taking new patients or they don’t have office hours matching your schedule. You can also consider questions such as hospital affiliations and whether other providers can help if you need emergency care and your doctor isn’t available. Take a Deeper Look Online research can tell you a great deal about potential doctors, from biographical information and credentials to ratings by former patients.When searching for a new provider, another important area to consider is financial relationships. One resource patients can consider is Open Payments, a national disclosure program within CMS that provides visibility into financial relationships between drug and medical device companies and physicians, and teaching hospitals. The government requires pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers and group purchasing organizations to report funds they give health care providers in the form of meals, entertainment, travel, gifts, consulting fees, research payments and more, promoting transparency and helping uncover potential conflicts of interest. It’s important to know most health care providers receive payments. Just because financial ties are reported does not mean anyone has done anything wrong. However, patients can use the information to talk with their provider about why they recommend certain medications or treatments, including asking about generic options, which are equally as effective as name brands but typically less expensive. It’s also an opportunity to start a discussion with a provider about areas of professional interest and expertise based on research or consulting.

Whether you’re rarely sick or have conditions that require frequent visits to the doctor, having a trusted and skilled health care provider is an important step in protecting your health. Any number of reasons can result in needing to ﬁnd a new doctor, such as moving to a new community, changes to your insurance, your old doctor retiring or needing a specialist.These suggestions from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) can help you be more efﬁcient and thorough as you look for a doctor who is right for you.

Leading a fulﬁlling & engaged life doesn’t just mean being present for life’s special moments; it also means being able to hear them, too. We want you to be able to hear everything, from your daughter’s wedding ceremony to your partner talk about their day.

Offer valid at any location. Must mention ad at time of service to redeem. Offer expires September 30, 2022.

Talk to people you know about whether they have a provider they like. If you’re looking for a new provider because of a move or retirement, ask your current doctor for a recommendation. If you need to make a change with your primary care doctor but see specialists or other medical professionals you like and trust, you can also request referrals from them.

How to find

Check with Your Insurance Company

Listen to Your Gut If you’re undecided, request an introductory appointment with a provider you’re considering. Look for a clinic where you are treated with respect and the medical team listens to your opinions and concerns. You should feel comfortable asking questions, and the doctor needs to be able to explain things in ways you understand. Find more resources for your health care needs at cms.gov.

In fact, U.S. workers are among the most stressed in the world, according to a State of the Global Workplace study. While some stress is unavoidable and can be good for you, constant or chronic stress can have real consequences for your mental and physical health. Chronic stress can increase your lifetime risk of heart disease and stroke. It can also lead to unhealthy habits like overeating, physical inactivity and smoking while also increasing risk factors, including high blood pressure, depression and anxiety. However, a scientiﬁc statement from the American Heart Association shows reducing stress and cultivating a positive mindset can improve health and well-being.

Healthy Habits to help reduce stress 1

Gratitude – or thankfulness – is a powerful tool that can reduce levels of depression and anxiety and improve sleep. Start by simply writing down three things you’re grateful for each day.

A positive mindset can improve overall health. Studies show a positive mindset can help you live longer, and happy individuals tend to sleep better, exercise more, eat better and not smoke. Practice positive self-talk to help you stay calm. Instead of saying, “everything is going wrong,” re-frame the situation and remind yourself “I can handle this if I take it one step at a time.”

OZONE shows where we’ve gone lately on ozone, in the zigzagging black line trending up, and where EPA says we need to be, below the green and redWhatlines:can be done? The Regional Air Quality Council, charged with drawing up a plan to get below 70 ppb but with no power to enforce its proposals, put the dilemma in a chart for the Air Quality Control Commission, which does hold actual power to make law. The northern Front Range “background” ozone level starts at 48.6 ppb, RAQC says. An at-a-glance view of why it’s been so difficult for the north ern Front Range to cut its ozone production back below EPA limits. Our background ozone starts high, and the biggest places to cut elsewhere are partially walled off by special interests and consumer habits. (Regional Air Quality Council)Thisis a favorite point of the oil and gas industry, which says it has already done a lot to tighten up its ozone and greenhouse gas-causing emissions. Should they be penal ized for high background levels, trade groups ask? This back ground is made up of ozone blown here from Chinese coal plants, Los Angeles smog, wildfires, and even volatile organic compounds given off by “woody vegetation.” (Yes, we too thought woody vegetation was a good thing. But some plants have a mean streak, apparently.) There’s nothing we can do about that background amount, really, except pray for rain and fewer wildfires. And as the RAQC point ed out, metro Denver provides some of the “background” ozone for points east when prevailing winds blow that way. Apologies to Kansas City, but then you get the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. So, what’s the next biggest chunk of ozone we can knock off? Back to you, oil and gas industry. Still a big target. At 8.6 ppb of that 70-ppb limit, regulators are likely to ask the industry to do more. Some environmental groups are promoting a summer pause on oil and gas exploration and produc tion on the northern Front Range. Meanwhile, you drivers in your humble Toyota or Chrysler, did you think you were innocent? Cars and trucks are next on the ozone-producing chart, at 6.8 ppb. And the Great Switch-Out to cleaner electric vehicles is a very slow trickle compared to the EPA’s deadline for reducing ozone. So all of us driving fossil-fuel powered cars, or demanding that fossil fuelpowered trucks deliver us nice packages, will have to contribute at some Recentlypoint.came the news that California is just going to ban gasoline cars altogether by 2035. We work on this for years, and California just tweets it out. Colo rado has already adopted clean electric vehicle standards modeled after California, and in 2023 will likely pass clean truck standards modeled the same way. Will there be new pressure, given the size of California’s car market and influence, to speed up Colorado’s transition?Anothercategory is an example of how tricky all this is: “Lawn & Garden.” Smoke-spewing twocycle engines like lawn mowers and gas leaf blowers are a prime target of RAQC and other regula tors. Some places are banning them. Others want expansive buyback or trade-in programs in favor of clean electric models. But that kind of legislation couldn’t even pass a Democratic-controlled Colorado statehouse this year. While the next step may not be obvious, RAQC executive director Mike Silverstein said, staring at this chart is a place to start. “It’s more information that helps us say, where do we want to spend our time,” he said. Finally, we present the ozone and emissions chart that is a true puzzle, so complicated (yet so colorful!) that the RAQC can’t help but return to it in its presentations to air pollution policymakers. What this pickup-sticks view shows that baffles even the ex perts is that some of the key emissions that help create ozone are trending steadily downward. Daily nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds have steadily declined since 2010, according to the RAQC.
