Let’s all take a deep breath. Now, remember what that feels like, because it will change as the air gets gunky as it always does in winter months.
Once the Salt Lake Valley inversion sets in that deep breath will taste very different, it will burn your lungs and make ordinary outdoor activities not just unpleasant. For those with respiratory issues, it can be dangerous.
Unlike the air on a January day, I want to be clear: Some positive steps have been taken to improve air quality. But it is an ongoing process and there is still more that must be done.
