The Utah Environmental Public Health Tracking Network provides useful information about environmental exposures and related health effects. This information comes from a nationwide network, run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), that displays health data and environmental data in one place. In Utah, this information is housed on IBIS-PH, or the Indicator Based Information Sys

tem for Public Health, and contains Utah-specific environmental and health data for the public to learn more about where they live, work and play.

States with the highest rates of melanoma, like Utah, often surprise people, as northern and high-altitude locations frequently outpace warmer, southern destinations. This is largely due to a combination of demographics (larger fair-skinned populations), outdoor recreation habits, and thinner atmospheric UV protection.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is emitted by the sun and some artificial sources such as tanning beds. Although UV radiation helps the body create vitamin D, overexposure can cause harm to the skin and eyes. Sunburn is a sign of short-term overexposure, while premature aging and skin cancer are side effects of prolonged UV exposure. UV exposure increases the risk for potentially blinding eye diseases if eye protection is not used. To find out more about skin cancer rates in Utah, click on the link in our bio.

Wildfires impact air quality and put people’s health at risk from smoke exposure. Smoke exposure can be sudden, last for days or weeks, and affect indoor and outdoor air quality. Smoke can travel great distances and become trapped in areas far from the source of the wildfire by weather patterns.
