Preserved from 2006
Air Pollution
& Dying Forests
Explore the collectionThis is a legacy site that I last updated in 2006, but its observations are even more relevant today.
The circumstantial and proven linkages between air pollution and dying forests provided more than enough evidence to raise alarm over how humans are changing this planet’s atmosphere. As the compiler of the evidence on this site, I therefore felt this was enough and shifted focus to inventing and developing ways to mitigate air pollution. This has resulted in several patents and modest mitigating impacts.
The collection
An environmental record,
kept intact.
The original research, field observations, photographs, and contemporary reporting are preserved as a historical collection. The material reflects what was compiled through 2006; dates and source links are retained for context.

Introduction
The original overview of observed forest decline, likely causes, and the evidence that motivated this collection.
Global evidence
Notes from
around the world
A region-by-region compilation of forest health reports, scientific findings, field notes, and contemporary news.
Research brief
Acid rain damage
Research from the University of Vermont on calcium depletion and damage more extensive than previously understood.
A note on context
Preserved history,
clearly labeled.
This collection is presented as a legacy archive—not as a continuously updated scientific resource. It captures the evidence, language, and linked sources available when the site was actively maintained.
