A new study found the causes of pollution in the Elyria Swansea neighborhood near Commerce City, with two well-known facilities causing most of the pollution.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder looked into the neighborhood that is filled with manufacturing plants like the Suncor Energy oil refinery, the Robert W. Hite wastewater treatment plant, local industrial shops and major highways.
While it’s referred to as a “heavily polluted urban area” in the study, some of these facilities are causing more pollution than others.
