1 Air Quality Trends in National Parks Mike George, National Park Service December 7, 2004
2 Trend Analysis One of the goals of the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) & NPS criteria monitoring is tracking trends. Have been assessing trends since 1995 as performance measure.
