1. Provide the most up-to-date information on air quality problems, issues, and integrative solutions.

2. Monitor our air for the presence of important pollutants including tropospheric ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, particulate matter 2.5 um, and other important air toxics on a need basis. In addition we are monitoring visibility and many meteorological parameters for determining their interactive relationships with the presence of air pollutants.

3. Provide cultivated gardens of native plants, forest trees, and agricultural crops that are known sensitive to various air pollutants (bio-indicators).

4. Demonstrate the effects of air pollutants on foliar symptom expression, seasonal growth, and premature leaf senescence of sensitive species using open-top chambers.

5. Provide an educational center where the most recent findings of our Penn State University programs in air quality monitoring and effects research may be shared with visitors to the Center..

6. Provide a venue for the display of the newest pollution abatement technologies and strategies being developed by our sponsoring industries and governmental agencies.
