Thom Carter, Exec. Dir. of UCAIR - Utah Clean Air Partnership

Air quality is a significant concern for Utah residents. The state’s topography and climate lead to episodic air pollution during the winter and summer months. Seasonal temperature inversions trap emissions that form particulate matter and ozone. Complex chemical processes create these harmful pollutants, which often rise to unhealthy levels, posing public health risks, economic consequences and decreased quality of life. Utah Clean Air Partnership aims to educate and advocate Utahns on clean air.
