Shenandoah National Park is located in Virginia, reaching a height of 4,051 feet or 1,235 m. The park includes more than 100 miles of the Appalachian trail and 518 miles of hiking trails. Because of air pollution in Shenandoah National Park they are now monitoring the air by how it looks, gases around this area and the atmospheric deposition. Ground level ozone requirements do not meet that of the parks which has caused around 40 of the park’s plants to be harmed. While monitoring the air they discovered that it was human-caused air pollution and is the reason for the air quality, visibility, soils, native fish, vegetation and stream-water chemistry. Air pollution is a harmful thing that can cause the environment harm like it did to Shenandoah.
