Upcoming Learn at Lunch LIVE Webinar:

Options for Reducing Wood Smoke

Date: March 22, 2016

Time: 12 pm – 1 pm MST

Part 1: Northern Utah Wood Smoke Survey

Speaker: Joel Karmazyn, Environmental Scientist, Department of Environmental Quality

The purpose of the survey was to provide detailed information on the wood-burning practices of residents in the seven northern counties that currently fail to meet federal air quality standards for PM2.5 during wintertime inversions. Questions included: a. The type, age, and number of wood-burning appliances. b. The amount of wood burned in each appliance in a typical year. c. The time of day and months during which residents use their wood-burning appliances. Division of Air Quality is using the data to estimate county-wide wood-burning emissions for each type of wood-burning appliance (i.e., wood stove, fireplace, etc.).
