Lung Association slams Utah areas for bad air By Amy Joi O’Donoghue Deseret News Published: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 11:18 p.m. MDT A new report assessing the nation’s air quality ranked Salt Lake City No. 6 in the country for its bad short-term particle pollution, below No. 1 Pittsburgh and No. 4 Los Angeles but worse than Detroit in the ninth spot. “State of Air 2009” was released Wednesday by the American Lung Association and is driven by Environmental Protection Agency data collected in 2006 through 2008. No Utah cities made the association’s list for bad air based on year-round annual averages or ozone levels, but out of 1,000 counties included in the analysis, seven Utah counties received F’s for their high ozone days. Those counties are Box Elder, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah, Washington and Weber. Sources: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705300457,00.
