UVU aviation school is first in the nation to convert to unleaded fuel<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Utah Valley University\u2019s\u00a0School of Aviation Sciences<\/u>\u00a0will be the first school in the nation to fully convert to unleaded fuel. Piston-engine aircrafts, which are common at aviation schools, usually require a higher-octane fuel that involves a lead additive, so unleaded fuel is still in the early adoption phases.<\/p>\n

The university partnered with\u00a0Swift Fuels<\/u>, a fuel research and development company, to use a lead-free alternative designed for aircraft. It’s not something every piston-engine aircraft can use, but all 25 of UVU\u2019s planes are compatible.<\/p>\n

In addition to being more environmentally friendly, the new fuel is expected to reduce maintenance costs, since cleaner fuel leads to fewer engine problems, and improve health and safety for employees handling the fuel by reducing their exposure to lead.<\/p>\n

Strong winds causing high dust pollution in Utah<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fierce winds carried dust all the way from eastern Nevada into Utah Tuesday afternoon, bringing pollution with it. The fine particulate readings in Tooele reached into the high 50s, which equates to\u00a0\u201cpoor\u201d air quality<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.<\/p>\n

These readings also surpass the\u00a0federal standard<\/a><\/u>\u00a0set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a 24-hour period, which is 35 micrograms per cubic meter or less.<\/p>\n

Fine particulate matter is tiny, at least 70 times smaller than a human hair, which means it can get buried deep in the lungs and cause long lasting health impacts.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0National Weather Service<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in Salt Lake City also issued a high wind warning for the west desert of Utah. Even after the wind is gone, it will take time for the dust to dissipate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
