If you’re breathing a little easier with the downgraded air quality levels of late, Derek Mallia, assistant professor of atmospheric science at the University of Utah, has projections that may give pause for celebration.

Although the worst may be over, as far as high levels of particulate matter 2.5 are concerned, this region is not out of the woods just yet. So to speak.

“It could be a very intermittent, kind of smoky summer for areas in New York,” Mallia said during a phone interview Friday from Utah with The Batavian.
