Book excerpt: Scenic vistas in most U.S. parklands are diminished by haze that reduces contrast, washes out colors, and renders distant landscape features indistinct or invisible. Protecting Visibility in National Parks and Wilderness Areas describes the current understanding of the nature and extent of haze in various regions of the United States. The book addresses the scientific and legal framework of efforts to protect and improve visibility, as well as methods for assessing the relative importance of anthropogenic emission sources that contribute to haze in national parks and for considering various alternative source control measures. The volume provides guidance on how to make progress toward the national goal of correcting and preventing visibility impairment due to human activities affecting large national parks and wilderness areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many national parks and wilderness areas, particularly those in the Southwestern United States, are known for their unique and beautiful scenery. Millions of people visit these areas each year to view their spectacular scenic vistas. In 1977, Congress made the protection of visibility in these areas a national priority. Part II of this article provides an overview of the history and purpose of visibility regulation, and Part III describes the scientific basis for such regulation. Part IV discusses the early years of visibility protection; Part V evaluates visibility protection in the 199Os; and Part VI discusses EPA's recent efforts at dealing with the visibility problem.
