UTM COORDINATES = INLET PROBE ON ROOF OF TRAILER - Air Monitoring Station in Roy, Utah

UTM COORDINATES = INLET PROBE ON ROOF OF TRAILER is an air monitoring station located at 5320 S. 2100 W. in Roy, Utah, United States. The station is part of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality's ambient air monitoring network, which supports compliance with the U.S. EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). As a fixed-site monitor, it provides critical data on criteria pollutants to assess regional air quality. The station operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Clean Air Act and the EPA's Air Quality System (AQS). While specific parameters measured are not detailed, typical air monitoring stations in Utah track pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead. The station's location in Roy, a city in Weber County near the Wasatch Front, positions it to capture emissions from urban, industrial, and transportation sources. Environmental monitoring in this region is significant due to the area's topography and population density, which can lead to inversions and elevated pollution levels. Data from this station contributes to public health advisories, state implementation plans, and regional air quality management. The station's operational status ensures continuity of reporting for regulatory compliance and community awareness.

The station is situated in Roy, Utah, within the Wasatch Front region, where mountain-valley topography often traps pollutants during winter inversions. The area experiences a mix of urban emissions from Salt Lake City and Ogden, industrial sources along the I-15 corridor, and occasional wildfire smoke. Monitoring criteria pollutants like PM2.5 and ozone is critical for understanding local air quality dynamics and protecting public health. The station's siting near residential and commercial areas provides representative data for population exposure assessments.
