Maybe you guys should go tell the people in emergency rooms it's just water

With all the news coverage about how bad it is

The difference is we have more cases of Asthma.

CDC statistics do not bear out this narrative that asthma is more prevalent

But anecdotes prove the data wrong!

It's really because we have so many more people reacting to it.

jcase16byu

and social media makes it sound worse than it really is.

People are so over dramatic about the inversion....

'Worse Than Ever'? I'm sure glad we don't burn coal for heating anymore.

Easier to poke holes in Fox 13 than address my op about how my asthma magically

It's easy to claim it is the inversion....when other factors could be in play to

WJCougar

2/13/16 9:17am

And that is why we don't use anecdotal evidence as proof

mobius

2/13/16 9:20am

I'm not naive enough to believe it's the only factor but to deny it plays a role

Cabadapeste

Why on earth would someone with asthma run on an inversion day?

concolor couguar

100,000 homes using coal doesn't equal Rio Tinton plus a million cars.

Cochise Cat

2/13/16 9:16am

No 100,000 homes using coal would be far worse

mobius

2/13/16 9:17am

Lol, no. Stoker coal doesn't put that much into the air.

Cochise Cat

2/13/16 2:39pm

Do you have additional information on this?

mobius

I saw that statistic yesterday on CB about Rio Tinto....

WJCougar

Pollution controls are much better nowadays that when coal was prevelant.

2/13/16 9:22am

Not to mention the fact the Salt Lake Valley was home to several Kennecott-sized
