This book offers a comprehensive overview of the environmental chemistry and transport phenomena of air pollutants, biological and ecological effects of acidic precipitation, mitigation of acidified aquatic ecosystems, and modeling approaches. This book presents a survey of national research programs aimed at bettering our understanding of mechanisms and effects of acidic precipitation. It illustrates the diversity of approaches to the problem taken by different countries depending on their socioeconomic structure and other factors, and suggests possibilities for increased international cooperation.
