Salt Lake Tribune: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has given Utah three years to reverse a trend of rising ozone pollution in some of its most populated counties.
The EPA on Tuesday formally declared portions of seven Utah counties to be in violation of national standards for ozone, an airborne pollutant that is particularly harmful to children. The long-anticipated determination creates “nonattainment areas” — geographically defined regions with potentially harmful pollution levels — spanning Salt Lake and Davis counties, as well as parts of Weber, Tooele, Utah, Uintah and Duchesne counties.
