Utah air quality benefits from the arrival of spring. As the colder temperatures from winter subside, the tendency for an inversion to settle in over Salt Lake and Utah counties decrease. This is the benefit of spring, however, the downside to spring is the increased pollen counts in the air. While this isn't necessarily polluting the air and directly polluting the environment, I would still consider it a pollutant because it can be damaging to people with allergies who breathe it in. To learn about the daily pollen count for where you live see Pollen. I don't mean to give pollen a bad name. There is nothing we can do to reduce the pollen counts where we live. Pollen is necessary for the reproduction of plants and flowers which are an important part of our world. To learn more about pollen click here.
