Air Resource Management Program Assessment: Protecting National Forests from Air Pollution

This Rocky Mountain Region study explains how air pollution affects sensitive forest ecosystems. It outlines the program’s purpose, legal responsibilities, and the plan to monitor and protect NFS lands from harmful air emissions. The book also describes how monitoring, data management, and training fit into a regional effort to reduce duplication and improve protection.

The document surveys opportunities under the Clean Air Act and related laws, and it details how air quality values are defined and safeguarded in Wilderness areas. It also highlights priorities for monitoring terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, plus the role of flora, fauna, and soils in assessing air-pollution impacts.

How the region identifies sensitive ecosystems and monitors changes over time
Ways air quality laws guide protection of Class I and Class II areas
Strategies for building monitoring programs, data systems, and staff training
Baseline studies and indicators used to track deposition, visibility, and ecological health

Ideal for readers of environmental planning, forest management, and public lands protection who want a clear view of regional air-resource goals and methods.
