The Department of Environmental Quality has labeled the air quality in Salt Lake City as “unhealthy.” Many people are experiencing long-term COVID systems because of this.
Wildfires, pollution from daily activities and weather are all exacerbating symptoms. It’s not just COVID’s fault; the daily exposure to particulates in the air is causing long-haulers to have breathing problems. A doctor at Intermountain Healthcare said many sufferers deal with chronic lung conditions as a result and Utah’s poor air quality isn’t helping anyone.
