I bet that much of this spike is a mental reaction to the news. There is no chance that the inversion is worse than when everybody was burning coal all day every day.

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!

The experts claiming it is the worst it's ever been....

WJCougar

2/13/16 9:05am

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

jcase16byu

2/13/16 9:11am

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

WJCougar

2/13/16 9:15am

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

WJCougar

'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

Because it's just water vapor.

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

Do you have additional information on this?

mobius

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

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

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