Utah got a hefty dose of smoky air in the moderately unhealthy range from wildfires burning in Canada, but luckily it shouldn't be here much longer.

SALT LAKE CITY — When the mountain peaks are not visible from the middle of the valley, there's pollution in the air.

"You can see how the smoke is being kind of pulled down towards the south," explained Derek Mallia, a research assistant professor at the University of Utah who studies the impact of wildfires on our air quality. The smoky air is wafting across the plains, into the upper Midwest. Fortunately, Utah is not getting the worst of it." Mallia said.
