Issue In Utah our air pollution quality is a problem for the health of all the people living in Utah. It can cause major asthma problems, and is bad for the environment.

Governing Entry Utah’s department of Health

My Research Six air pollutants that cause health problems. Ground-level ozone Nitrogen oxides Sulfur oxides Carbon monoxide Lead Microscopic particles that are called particulate matter.

Research Factories Power plants Degreasing operations The amount of damage these pollutants can cause are determine on 2 things. Amount of time in pollutant The pollutant the person is exposed to. There are many different sources of pollutants. Factories Power plants Degreasing operations Dry cleaners Vehicles Trains

Research Effects of Air Pollution Causing lung damage Cancer Other serious health problems Children and the elderly are more susceptible to air pollution than others and can suffer the effects at lower pollution levels.

Call To Action Reduce the amount of air pollution in the air Public transportation Different energy source, besides burning fossils fuels Carpooling
