Annual Meeting 2000
The Group Against Smog and Pollution Annual Meeting presents
An Appalachian Tragedy: Air Pollution and Forest Health
This colorful, well-orchestrated documentary slide show illustrates the damage inflicted on human and forest health by chemical airborne pollutants.
“The Allegheny National Forest has been afflicted by what its supervisor has called a ‘full-forest decline,’ with sugar maple death the most dramatic manifestation. Here, in some stands, maple mortality has reached 80%, with the rate of regeneration down to zero.”
