Well, it’s back. Again. Bad air is choking northern Utah, and it could be around for a while. But we’re not the only ones who have to deal with toxic air pollution. These days it’s a global problem, and people everywhere are looking for solutions.
It’s no secret that northern Utah suffers from chronic air pollution in the winter months. But when the smog gets so thick you can’t see the mountains, it’s easy to forget that other places around the world deal with toxic air, too. That’s what we’re talking about Tuesday, the global air pollution problem. It’s an issue in London, in New Delhi, and Accra. In China, Mexico, even the French Alps. They all have their own unique air pollution problems, and ideas of how to fix them.
