For most of the year, Utah's air is clean and meets federal health standards. Winter and summer air pollution is largely caused by the same emissions. Poor winter air quality is a result of tiny dust and soot particles known as particulate matter (PM2. 5).

If the air quality is especially poor, it may take a few days for your body to recover. And if you're regularly exposed to high levels of unhealthy air, the health consequences can linger for months or even years. One of the most-studied pollutants in summertime air is an invisible gas called ozone.
"Good" AQI is 0 - 50. Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk. "Moderate" AQI is 51 - 100. Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people.
The air quality index (AQI) is an index for reporting air quality on a daily basis. It is a measure of how air pollution affects one's health within a short time period. The purpose of the AQI is to help people know how the local air quality impacts their health.
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is an air pollutant that is a concern for people's health when levels in air are high. PM2.5 are tiny particles in the air that reduce visibility and cause the air to appear hazy when levels are elevated.
What symptoms are often linked to poor indoor air quality?
- Dryness and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin.
- Headache.
- Fatigue.
- Shortness of breath.
- Hypersensitivity and allergies.
- Sinus congestion.
- Coughing and sneezing.
- Dizziness.
HOW DOES UTAH USE ITS WATER? Most of Utah's water (about 87%), goes towards agricultural use.
SALT LAKE CITY — Residents across Utah reported brown snow, a phenomenon explained by National Weather Service Salt Lake City and KSL's chief meteorologist. According to NWS, the snow turns brown as pollutants are picked up by the snow or dirt kicked up in the air by strong winds.
What makes Salt Lake City dangerous is not violent crimes. In fact, for a large city, Salt Lake City has a fairly low violent crime rating. However, Salt Lake City has the 3rd highest property crime rating in the United States, with 6,176 property crimes per 100,000 people.
