Thursday, we’re wrapping up our series on Utah’s bad air. A lot has changed in Northern Utah in the last couple months. Our air is a lot cleaner, and there’s a sense that efforts to help keep it that way have gained some momentum. But will that result in meaningful improvements to our air quality? If so, when, and what will those improvements cost us? We’ll also explore what we do and don’t know about how air pollution actually affects our bodies.
