US continues decades-long monitoring of airborne pollutants at mountain stations

Original: NEW: For decades, the U.S. has been monitoring atmospheric particles — which include pollutants — that get deposited on

For decades, the United States has monitored atmospheric particles, including pollutants, that settle on surfaces, giving researchers data to study and reduce their environmental impact. A new report features Robin Dreyer, who manages the NC45 monitoring site atop Clingman's Peak, explaining how the long-running measurements work and why they remain important for understanding pollution deposition.

Why now: Renewed attention on air quality and long-term environmental monitoring programs.
