A heavy inversion in northern Utah valleys has resulted in a visible layer of smog, according to a post from the National Weather Service of Salt Lake City. This phenomenon has been caused by high pressure of dry weather and pollution accumulating over the area. Inversions and pollution are closely linked, as the stagnant air traps pollutants close to the ground, leading to poor air quality.
The situation is currently developing and updates may follow. In the meantime, residents are advised to take precautions and limit outdoor activities to reduce exposure to the smog. The KSL NewsRadio team encourages anyone with story ideas or tips related to this issue to reach out.
Inversions and pollution remain pressing concerns for the northern Utah region, and it is important for individuals to stay informed and take necessary steps to protect their health during these conditions.
