David Keiser, Gabriel Lade, Ivan RudikDavid Keiser and Gabriel Lade, assistant professors, along with researcher Ivan Rudik of Cornell, published an article in The Conversation July 18 pertaining to ozone pollution in national parks.

"We found that while cities once had more “bad air days” with unhealthy ozone levels than national parks, today parks and metro areas have virtually the same number of unhealthy ozone days per year on average."
