Thinking locally, polluting intercontinentally

Article Abstract:

Snow samples collected by Earthwatch teams on Alaska's North Slope bore concentrations of sulfate and nitrate, due to air pollution transported from industries in Europe and Soviet Union, is presented. The participants in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) symposium in Seattle in February 2004 identified additional examples of air pollution transport across borders and oceans, and stressed the importance of science in positively influencing international awareness.
