| Abstract: |
The Atmospheric Team, with input from scientists, forest planners, and concerned citizens, identified five questions that needed to be addressed in order to understand air quality conditions and trends in the Ozark-Ouachita Highlands: (1) What are the major emissions characteristics in the Ozark-Ouachita Highlands Assessment area, and what areas receive the greatest exposure to pollutants? (2) What is the status of particulate matter in the Ozark-Ouachita Highlands? (3) How good is visibility in the Assessment area; how does air pollution affect visibility? (4) What impact does ground-level ozone have on forests? and (5) To what extent are resources in the Highlands being affected by acid deposition? |
