Air Quality in the National Parks by Dee Morse Pdf
Discusses the current quality of air in our national parks, which visitors expect to be clean and clear. Monitoring conducted in national parks over the past 20 years documents that, in most parks, air quality is better than standards set by the EPA to protect public health and welfare. In addition, air quality is improving or remaining stable in about half the parks where monitoring occurs. Chapters: Preserving Air Quality in National Parks; Current Air Quality Conditions and Trends; Measuring Air Quality in National Parks; Great Smoky Mountains National Park -- Threatened by Air Pollution; The Future of Air Quality in Our National Parks; and Data Tables. Color photos and maps.
