Air Quality & Climate Change
Salt Lake City is a great
place to live, work and play. But one unfortunate reality that
cannot be ignored are the Red and Yellow Air Quality Action Days
that dot the calendar in both winter and summer months.
According to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, over
50% of Utah's air pollution comes from motor vehicles. These emissions add potentially harmful pollutants into the air, and
lead to a handful of days every year that are classified as
"unhealthy" in Salt Lake City and other parts of Utah.
Salt Lake City is aggressively working to
reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality through programs
that conserve electricity and natural gas, encourage individuals
to drive down their personal motor vehicle miles, and
reduce other sources of air pollution. The
City has been working to reduce both its own internal fleet
emissions, and the vehicle emissions generated by the community.
