Outdoor Air
Utah is a premier skiing, biking, and hiking state. With increasing levels of pollution, Utahns are starting to look for ways to combat the pollution. Here are some Utah resources to keep the air clean and the smog away:
What can I do about air pollution?
- Use alternative transportation. Carpool, bus, use the light rail, bike, or walk. See our resources page for options.
- Maintain your vehicle. A poorly maintained vehicle can pollute as much as 25 times more than a well-maintained one.
- Refuel your vehicle after 6:00 p.m. Since ozone pollution needs sunlight to form, the gasoline vapors that escape when refueling have less of an opportunity to be transformed into harmful ozone.
- Stop at the click when filling up your vehicle
- Avoid gasoline-powered lawn equipment
- Explore telecommuting and teleworking as an alternative to driving to work
- Teleconference instead of driving to a meeting
