Oil and Gas Development Air Quality Forum

Event sponsored and posted by Arapahoe County League of Women Voters:

Recent studies have found that air pollution from oil and gas development is a primary contributor to ground level ozone in the air we breathe.  According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Denver Metro Area, including Arapahoe County, is already failing to meet federal clean air standards for ozone.

Hear the latest research about the health risks from Colorado health professionals and the scientific community. Learn about the development of air quality regulations for the oil and gas industry to be considered by the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission.

The speakers will be:

• Detlev Helmig, Fellow and Associate Research Professor at INSTAAR Institute of Arctic & Alpine Research at the University of Colorado Boulder
• Dan Grossman, Rocky Mountain Regional Director of the Environmental Defense Fund
• Yadira Caraveo, M.D., Member of the American Academy of Pediatrics
• Matt Sura, Oil and Gas Attorney
