Description

This is an audio-described video. Glacier National Park is classified as a Class 1 airshed under the Clean Air Act, which affords the highest level of air quality protection. Air quality impacts visibility, water quality, forest composition and ecosystem function. Glacier has had a permanent air quality monitoring site since 1980 that measures different components of the atmosphere. This week, the park's Physical Scientist shows us around the site and explains how we measure air quality in Glacier!
