Evaluating airborne contaminants in Alaska national parks: the Western Airborne Contaminants Assessment Project
Landers DH, Blett T, Erway MM, Geiser L. 2008. Evaluating airborne contaminants in Alaska national parks: the Western Airborne Contaminants Assessment Project. Alaska Park Science. 7(1):46–51
This six-year WACAP project was designed to: 1) determine if contaminants are present in western national parks; 2) determine where contaminants are accumulating (geographically and by elevation); 3) determine which contaminants pose a potential ecological threat; 4) determine which indicators appear to be the most useful to address contamination; and 5) determine the sources for contaminants measured at the national park sites.
