In the winter months, the air quality in Cache Valley is particularly bad, even though it has a fraction of the population of other counties along the Wasatch Front. So why does the county have worse winter air than elsewhere in Utah?
. But in the winter months, the air quality in Cache Valley is particularly bad, even though it has a fraction of the population of other counties along the Wasatch Front.There are a few factors, according to Randy Martin, an associate research professor at Utah State University’s Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
Bryce Bird, director of the Division of Air Quality within the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, said not only does Cache Valley fill up with bad air more quickly, but it also lingers for longer. This is because typically, the area has colder, snowier winters than counties to the south. “Cache Valley this year, and historically, by historically 15-20 years ago, has had the worst wintertime air compared to Wasatch Front,” Martin said.
