Air Quality 'Action Days'
"Red" and "blue" air quality advisories
will soon be a thing of the past. The Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment will now forecast air quality "Action Days."
When either pollutant conditions and/or visibility are expected to
exceed standards, the department will call for an "Action Day," just as
it does during the summer for ground-level ozone. During the wintertime
season, Action Days will activate mandatory residential burning
restrictions that limit burning to approved devices only. Action Days
also encourage voluntary action to limit driving. Impaired visibility
will be the reason for most Action Days during the wintertime season.
