People living in or near the Marshall Fire burn area can now check the air quality in their neighborhood in real-time.
“We’ve been looking at data all along, and we’re just very pleased that we can finally put that data out before the public so that they can access it as well,” said Bill Hayes, air quality coordinator for Boulder County Public Health.
“We’re just trying to live here and anchor the neighborhood while people clean up and try to rebuild,” Whiton said. “It’s not just trees that were burning, it was household cleaners and plastic and all sorts of things,” Whiton said. “We don’t know how that affects the environment in the long term.” “The day after the fire we were already getting calls from people concerned about, ‘is it safe to breathe it in?‘” said Hayes.
