Windblown Dust:
Exceptional Events ProgramIn dry areas like Utah, windblown dust maybe a significant air pollution problem. From spring through fall, unusually high winds can combine with dry surface conditions to result in dust storms. These dust storms can lead to extremely high levels of particulate matter in the air. Much of this PM is small enough to be…

Statewide Emissions Inventories
The following links contain inventories developed for statewide criteria and hazardous air pollutants. If comparing inventories, the reader should note that emission estimation methods and emission factors are continually changing and improving, which may cause emissions to appear higher or lower from one year to the next without any actual emission change. In addition, the…

Statewide Emissions InventoriesThe annual emissions inventory is one means used by the State to assess the level of pollutants released into the air from various sources. A group of common air pollutants regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are called criteria air pollutants; these pollutants were determined based on their health and/or environmental effects. The second…

Emissions Inventory Submittals for Calendar Year 2017:
Statewide Emissions Inventory ProgramThe Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) has implemented an online, web-based method of emissions inventory submittals. The reporting will be done using an established software program, the web-based State and Local Emissions Inventory System (SLEIS), and a secure, private login account. The previously accepted paper forms, PDF files, spreadsheets, etc. are all replaced by…
