DENVER— A state judge has voided a permit issued by the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division allowing a tanker truck repair shop to emit more asthma-causing air pollution. Polar Service Center is located in a part of Commerce City already heavily overburdened with pollution. Thursday's Adams County District Court decision follows a lawsuit filed by North Range Concerned Citizens and the Center for Biological Diversity challenging the division's approval. Adams County is part of the Denver Metro/North Front Range area, which has for more than 15 years violated the national smog standard set to protect the health of people and wildlife.
