Book ·
OSTI ID:5632321
Acid Rain provides readers with information about our current understanding of the source receptor relationship, while also establishing a common basis for devising strategies for the control of acid rain. Beginning with an introduction to the atmospheric chemistry of acid rain for the layperson, the book follows up with a look at the answers to these questions of imminent concern to both scientists and policy makers. Does a source-receptor relationship actually exist. What is the supporting evidence. Why is an understanding of the source-receptor relationship crucial for understanding the impacts of acid deposition on the environment. How can source-receptor relationships be used to develop control strategies and near-term options for acid rain mitigation. What are the areas of consensus on the source-receptor relationship issue. What are the areas of dissension, and how can these be resolved responsibly. What kind of criteria is the U.S. Congress using to draft control legislation.
