It's weird that with how big of a deal the inversions are how little Utahns seem to know about them. Inversions aren't caused by us, they are a meteorological event. The inversion traps the pollution in the valley. There is no fix for inversions. It's fun when people in Utah are talking about how bad the air is when it's just high humidity. Get the Utah Air app by WSU (Android, iOS).
Salt Lake's average annual AQI is better than Los Angeles' even with the inversions giving us few weeks a year with notably worse air. The acute pollution spikes during inversions aren't healthy and we have to keep working toward improving that but it's not like our air is particularly bad generally.
fyi there's an app for utah air quality/burn restrictions.
you can subscribe to a daily e-mail with some air quality information at https://docs.google.com/a/utah.gov/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEo1NlRHRlc1SEhoSG5VREtUM3NYWEE6MQ
or install UtahAir app Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.autosciencetech.airquality) iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id722452416?mt=8)
These are but a few of the many sources available.
