Acid Precipitation: a current awareness bulletin

Technical Report · Sun Jan 15 04:00:00 EST 1984

OSTI ID:5214388

Research is reported on the cause-effect relationships of the acid precipitation phenomenon. Major emphasis is on man-made sources of suspected precursor pollutant emissions, e.g., sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, and on the possible effectiveness of control measures for reducing these emissions. The research is intended primarily to identify and resolve uncertainties with data and models used for decisionmaking on policies and control strategies. The digests in this bulletin and other citations to information on acid precipitation back to 1974 are available on the Energy Data Base (EDB); searching of an retrieval from EDB may be accomplished using either the DOE/RECON system or the Dialog or Orbit commercial on-line retrieval systems. Retrospective searches can be made on any aspect of acid precipitation, or customized profiles can be developed to provide current information for each user's needs.
