Fort Collins ranks 17th-worst in nationwide ozone levels

Noelle Mason September 19, 2021
Fort Collins residents are no strangers to waking up with scratchy throats from poor air quality. Fort Collins was recently ranked the 17th-worst city in terms of high ozone days, according to a new report from the American Lung Association, bypassing its 2020 placement of 19th-worst.  “The primary sources contributing to ground-level ozone pollution are oil and gas and transportation,” Lea Schneider, Larimer County environmental health planner, wrote in an email to The Collegian. Jeffrey Pierce, a professor at Colorado State University's department of atmospheric science, explained that nitrogen oxide from car pollution mixes with volatile organic compounds leaked from the oil and gas industry in Colorado on hot days, creating the ozone we experience in Fort Collins.
