Considering that very few people inhabited the Salt Lake Valley before the mid-1800s, there certainly was a time when pollution was not associated with inverted air.
The feeling of helplessness that most people profess in the region's pollution problem is false. Fifty-seven percent of the pollution in the air comes from cars. Twenty-four from homes and businesses. Eleven from industry. It's impossible to wholly eliminate pollution. But when fifty-seven percent of it comes from automobiles, it'll sure be possible to reduce it.
