Salt Lakers trying to decide whether or not to hit the trails or exercise outside can look for a few signs, said Bryce Bird, director of the Utah Division of Air Quality.
When you can smell the smoke and start to feel irritation in your lungs, “that’s usually when we’re up in the higher levels where you’d want to start taking some precautions,” Bird said.and wildfire smoke-driven PM 2.5 are the same: avoid exertion or exercise outside, especially in the afternoon when ozone levels are the highest.
