Recent Air Inversion in Keene NH (2021)
Notice the horizontal band of haze below the hills in the distance to the north. This is visible evidence of a thermal inversion. Normally, naturally occurring air currents carry pollutants away and continuously refresh the air over Keene. However, an inversion acts like a cap over the city that traps the air below, causing pollutants accumulate to the point where they become visible and can impact our health.
