From Mt Washington's summit to Hampton's beaches to Pack Monadnock, New Hampshire is suffering from intense heat and prolonged high pollution levels.

Officials at the Department of Environmental Services report this week has seen more bad air days than any time in the past twenty years.

Bob Scott is chief air programs manager at D.E.S.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that it's tough to find a place in the state that's not affected.
