Dr. Detlev Helmig, an air quality researcher from Boulder, has given dozens of public presentations on pollution over the past few years in communities along the Front Range.
When he is not speaking to the public, he’s often found at Boulder Reservoir, at one of 5 research sites he operates in the area. This small hut is full of air monitoring equipment that tracks everything from ozone to VOCs, that’s Volatile Organic Compounds which are emitted by oil and gas operations.
While Boulder County is tightening regulations on drilling, its neighbor to the east, Weld County, is the most fracked county in the state and Helmig’s research shows that is impacting air quality in the entire region.
