A recent National Parks Conservation Association report found that five California parks had some of the highest ozone levels and pollution in the country.
Four California parks have been dubbed the most polluted parks in the nation in a new environmental study. A report from the National Parks Conservation Association found that Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks ranked as the most polluted parks based on unhealthy levels of haze pollution along with the frequent threats of droughts and wildfires.
California's Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave National Preserve, and Yosemite National Park all followed Sequoia and Kings Canyon as the top four. Death Valley National Park, also in California, came in sixth. 'It’s not a surprise that air pollution is a problem in California. I think people know this,' Ulla Reeves, interim director for NPCA’s clean air program, told the Los Angeles Times.
And if chooses to not invest, and not see these places as essential and critical to the success of our climate goals, then we might fail,' Norton told the L.A. Times. 'And that’s kind of unthinkable.'
