Breathe New Hampshire Celebrates Air Quality Awareness Week

On April 30, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) and Breathe New Hampshire sponsored a “Clean Air Hike” up Pac Monadnock for teachers and approximately 80 eighth grade students from Conant Middle School in Jaffrey. The group learned about how air quality affects their health and the environment. Once on top of the mountain, the students visited the DES air monitoring station and saw the real time data being recorded.
