National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program: Interim assessment: The causes and effects of acidic deposition: Volume 1, Executive summary. [Contains glossary]
The Interim Assessment presents the state of the science in each Task Group subject area based largely on the NAPAP research but taking into account relevant research done elsewhere in the United States and abroad. The Interim Assessment focuses on the reduction in scientific uncertainties that have been accomplished by this research since 1982 and describes the effort toward further resolution of most of the major remaining uncertainties by 1990, the end of the program. Preliminary evaluation of possible economic impacts of acidic deposition has been attempted, but the lack of quantifiable effects constrains the assessment. An effort was made in 1985 to prepare an initial assessment, which was reworked in 1986 and 1987 into the Interim Assessment when it was realized that a large body of new scientific information was flowing in from NAPAP so that a more solidly based assessment could be made. 17 figs.
