On Oct. 3, the University of Utah hosted the first of a series of multidisciplinary summits on air quality. Titled “The Air We Breathe,” the symposium’s objectives were to build connections among researchers across our campus, catalyze new collaborations, coordinate research activities and communicate findings.
The fact is that Utah’s bad air is one of the state’s most pressing issues, as air pollution is associated with health problems, adversely affects our quality of life and has the potential to affect economic development. As the University for Utah, we are committed to making a difference in cleaning the air we all breathe.
