Show Notes
Salt Lake Citys west side neighborhoods, like Glendale and Rose Park, grapple with disproportionately high air pollution due to their proximity to industrial refineries, freeways, and the airport.

City leaders are now urged to redirect infrastructure funds to these overlooked areas for equity and cleaner air.
