Explore your impact on air pollution in the Salt Lake valley through these interactive applications and help us clear the air!
For their project, the Air Quality scholars want to help people understand how they can make a difference in the air we all breathe. They invite you to take the air quality survey below to learn more about the impact of your behaviors, and then to take the air quality pledge to do even more to improve our air.
For a comprehensive look at air pollution risk factors, how exposure to air pollution occurs, and improvement strategies that are associated with air quality, see Air Pollution and Public Health in Utah, produced by the Utah Environmental Epidemiology Program.
Air Quality Scholars will:
- better understand campus and community efforts to improve air quality
- participate in the air quality symposium “The Air We Breathe” (October 3, 2019)
- complete a campus or community project designed to improve air quality
