Human aspects of air quality in the San Bernardino Mountains

Abstract

The preceding chapters of this book have provided infomation on the ecological characteristics of the San Bernardino Mountains, as well as the effects of ozone and other air pollutants on vegetation and soil in the San Bernardinos, and additional interactions with air pollution and forest health. This chapter focuses on the human aspects of air quality in the San Bernardino Mountains because of the desired connection between available scientific information, wider understanding and acceptance of that information, and movement toward policy and behavioral changes necessary to act on scientific knowledge.
