LA averages about 90 "unhealthy" air days every year, SLC averages around 30. Not even close.

How is LA air pollution compared to the SLC valley during an inversion...?

It's true. When we moved to SoCal in the 80's, the pollution would make me cry.

I am frequently in LA, and the air is ALWAYS cleaner in LA. FAR CLEANER

Probably because during winter inversions much of what you see is water vapor

SLC during a strong winter inversion is worse.

Your data doesn't argue with my point at all

Did you even bother to use the compare feature on the website?

If there are fairly regular storms, it can be even less than 15.

The inversion of December 1980 to January 1981 was the worst.....

I remember that same thing: Heavy fog during the Miracle Bowl

I work in LA everyday, and in IMO SLC inversion air is worse.

Here is the national ranking for ozone, long and short term pollution.

And still below 5 areas in California on short term, including LA.

One big reason I'd never want to live in SL Valley or Utah Valley is the air

Most of what you were seeing was water vapor and dust
