Counties with the highest air toxics cancer risk in Utah

Among 29 Utah counties with published values, the counties with the highest air toxics cancer risk are Duchesne County, UT (30, 1 times the U.S. county median of 30), Salt Lake County, UT (30, 1 times the U.S. county median of 30) and Box Elder County, UT (20, 0.67 times the U.S. county median of 30). Values are in a million (EPA AirToxScreen).

Source: EPA AirToxScreen. These are county-level figures, compared with the U.S. county median. A high rate does not prove an environmental cause: age, smoking, income, access to care, screening and chance all move county rates, and small counties swing widely.
