⚠️ Air Quality on the West Side
The Utah Department of Environmental Quality is studying air pollution on Salt Lake City’s west side, an area disproportionately affected by poor air quality. Here’s how you can get involved:
- Take the survey: As a Salt Lake County resident, what do you think about air pollution?
- Host an air quality sensor: Install a sensor on the outside of your home to track air quality and measure levels of PM 2.5 and PM 10, harmful particulate matter.
- Attend focus groups or community meetings. Those who attend will be compensated for their time. Dates and times TBA.
