Utahns who live along the Wasatch Front are familiar with inversion — the smog that fouls the air during winter. But inversion isn’t the only air quality problem in northern Utah, according to new findings from the Environmental Protection Agency.

In this episode of The Daily Buzz, Tribune environment reporter Brian Maffly discusses his story on high ozone levels in northern Utah and explains why the EPA rejected a claim from the state that ozone pollution was from Asia.

Plus, Daedan Olander reports on the merger between Intermountain Healthcare and SLC Health and what the health care provider’s expansion will mean for Utahns.

Hear all of these stories in the Thursday, April 14, episode of ‘The Daily Buzz’ podcast. You can listen to both today’s episode and past episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
