Acid Deposition (Science/Environment/Air_Quality/Acid_Deposition)
up Acid DepositionAcid deposition includes acid rain and other acidic precipiation, but also dry deposition of acidic compounds.EntriesUS EPA - Acid Rain http://www.epa.gov/acidrain/ Information about causes and effects, how acid rain is measured, and what is being done to solve the problem. Includes activities for students. Acid Rain http://www.ec.gc.ca/acidrain/index.html Facts, news, children's resources, and links from Environment Canada. What is Acid Rain and What Causes It? http://www.policyalmanac.org/environment/archive/acid_rain.shtml A discussion of the causes and effects of acid rain, and possible policy solutions. National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/ US federal-state-NGO cooperative effort operating a national precipitation monitoring network to observe geographic and temporal trends in acidity, mercury, and other attributes. Includes data, maps, and meeting announcements. US EPA Acid Rain Program http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/progsregs/arp/ About EPA efforts reduce electric utilities' emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, the pollutants responsible for acid deposition. The program includes a system of tradable SO2 emissions allowances.

Freshwater Umbrella http://www.freshwaters.org.uk/ Research programme of applied science projects to aid DEFRA make policy decisions concerned with air pollution, acid rain, and the effects on freshwater systems in the UK. Neigbour categoriesAir Dispersion Modeling In the context of this "Air Dispersion Modeling" category, air dispersion models may be defined as computerized mathematical calculations for predicting the dispersion behavior of air pollutants Emissions Trading Indoor Air Quality This category contains sites concerning the study and assessment of factors that affect indoor air quality and sites that discuss methods of monitoring and improving the quality of indoor air. Indoor Ozone This category is for sites focused on the Ozone component of air pollution. Products and Services Radon This category is for scientific and informational sites about radon, a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring, radioactive gas. It is a significant contaminant that affects indoor air quality (This section is quite beta and buggy, have patience. Thanks) Thumbnails powered by Thumbshots |
