The USU Ozone Alert Program has launched for the winter 2020 – 2021 season. The program issues alerts when ozone in excess of the United States EPA standard of 70 parts per billion is predicted anywhere in the Uinta Basin, when a high ozone episode ends or is predicted to end, and when conditions change significantly from earlier predictions. Community members are encouraged to use the information to reduce air pollution during periods when air quality is likely to be impaired. As far as current air quality, Bingham Entrepreneurship & Energy Research Center Director Dr. Seth Lyman shares that “air quality has been great lately and our forecast for the next week is that it will continue to be great.” Additional air quality updates will be provided on the @uairquality Twitter feed as well as on the USU-Uintah Basin campus Facebook page.
