Utah Air

Utah Air is a cutting-edge mobile application designed to help residents stay informed about the air quality in Utah. The app provides a user-friendly alert system linked to action alerts that inform users whether certain activities, such as using a wood-burning stove or carpooling, are recommended or required according to current pollution levels. This is based on the robust guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Air Quality Index (AQI). It serves as an invaluable tool for understanding the potential impacts of daily pollution levels on individuals with different health conditions.

With access to daily updates, residents are guided on the best times for outdoor activities and consolidating errands to minimize environmental impact. Additionally, a three-day forecast feature allows for efficient planning of travel and work schedules, especially during critical periods of winter inversions or heightened summer ozone levels, thereby contributing to the overall reduction of emissions.

This service is poised as an essential resource for improving environmental health and personal well-being in the Utah region, emphasizing the need to take proactive measures in response to air quality concerns. Utah Air stands as an important ally for those looking to safeguard their health and contribute to a more sustainable environment.
