    Also, the most populated part of Utah runs on water that ends up in the Great Salt Lake which has been slowly drying up the last few decades and is close to pushing out all the toxic heavy metals it’s stored up over the centuries into the air for everyone in the valley to breathe in. All of which could’ve been avoided if they limited their agriculture industry and their suburban sprawl.

      Yeah, thats a whole fun thing that is going on as well.

      Last I heard it was airborne arsenic that was the primary problem.

      So…thats just not a phrase you should ever want to read.

      I also have no idea what you could even do to meaningfully mitigate or solve the problem.

      … Hazmat suits for being outside, and scrub down room entrances for every building?
