Air quality is a hot topic in our state any time of the year, but especially during the summer as ozone levels increase. That's why we'll be spending the next month focusing on all things air quality. Keep an eye on our social media to learn all about air quality, including the vision Utahns have for the future of air quality in our state. We'll be posting on Facebook and Instagram and releasing Envision Utah's first-ever podcast!
