PFAS Chemicals

Since 2019, there have been seven different releases of a special kind of firefighting foam at the airport. Officials stress they are always on the lookout for spills, with three fire stations on site, an operations team, as well as 37 spill kits spread across the airport for rapid response.

PFAS are found in thousands of everyday products, but their use in certain types of ski wax could be a problem for Utah’s groundwater.
