The Wallace Stegner Center 30th Annual Symposium
Breathing Easier: Air Pollution Challenges and Solutions
ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Stegner Center’s 30th annual symposium, Breathing Easier: Air Pollution Challenges and Solutions, will focus on one of Utah’s greatest challenges: air pollution.
The symposium will consider air pollution’s environmental and human health tolls—including the unequal burdens air pollution places on disadvantaged communities. Despite gains in many places, air pollution remains a vexing problem across the nation. In Utah, winters bring inversions and particulate matter pollution, and summers deliver increased ground-level ozone pollution. The Wasatch Front regularly exceeds national ambient air quality standards, exacerbated by the region’s unique geography and meteorology.
Finding solutions to these thorny problems becomes only more vital with each passing year. Emerging threats like dust from the shrinking Great Salt Lake and intensifying wildfire smoke further compound longstanding air pollution problems. Experts will share potential solutions, including those that have found success in other parts of the country.
We are excited to welcome you to our 30th Annual Symposium! Registration will open January 2025. Please check this website for regular updates. For additional information, including an agenda and list of confirmed speakers, please see the symposium website.
