  1. The scale, which runs from 0 to 500, was designed by the #EPA & measures the density of five different #pollutants in the #air: ground-level #ozone, #particulates, #CarbonMonoxide, #NitrogenDioxide & #SulfurDioxide.

    Several spots in northeastern Minnesota, closest to the fires recorded had AQI readings well into the “hazardous” range on Wednesday.

  6. #Colorado’s #OilAndGas industry is vastly underestimating #methane emissions

    Excerpt: "A unique aerial measurement campaign found that emission inventories compiled by energy companies to account for planet-warming methane leaking from equipment on Colorado oil and gas production sites undercount such #pollutants by at least two times.

    "Results from the $3.25 million project, led by a team of university researchers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, provided officials for the first time with a more complete picture of the invisible pollutant emitted from well pads. #FossilFuel extraction is the state’s second-largest source of methane pollution, which has a global warming potential roughly 80 times that of carbon dioxide during a 20-year period."
