The information presented in this report is drawn from an extensive review of the existing literature concerning the various aspects of acid deposition. Additionally, key researchers involved in the study of acid deposition were interviewed to obtain the most current data available and to resolve, if possible, questions generated by the literature review. These data were placed into perspective, with respect to Texas, by a multidisciplinary team of experts having extensive experience in the state. The available body of knowledge suggests that acid deposition is not a problem of immediate concern throughout most of Texas. The potential for a problem in the future may exist, however, in parts of east Texas where acid precipitation has been monitored and where the most sensitivity to potential acid deposition effects are found.
