The U.S. government AirNow air quality monitoring website showed just one orange dot for the entire United States for the 5:00PM hourly ozone reading. An orange dot means "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups". That one dot was Boulder, Wyoming. The 1-hour reading at 3:45PM was 98 PPB on the Boulder monitoring station. The reading lowered to 89 PPB for the 1-hour and 59 PPB for the 8-hour at 5:00PM according to the DEQ monitor. The 8-hour ozone level reached 77 PPB at 9:30 PM. The EPA standard for 8-hour ozone is 75 PPB. EPA does not have a one-hour standard.

Local health officials recommend anyone with breathing, eye or nose sensitivities stay inside and avoid breathing the outside air or exerting themselves while air pollution levels are higher than optimum.
