In September 1987, NAPAP released a 4-volume, 925 page interim report that summarized the effects of acidic precipitation on crops, forests, aquatic ecosystems, visibility, and human health. Following the release of the report, APCA coordinated an international conference to provide a forum for the technical amplification of the conclusions reached in NAPAP's report. Scientists from the United States and Canada were invited to participate in the conference. The focus of the meeting was concerned only with the technical aspects of the NAPAP report. At the conference, there were important research concepts presented that may require further attention before definitive, bottom line statements can be made concerning the effects of acid precipitation on the environment. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the key technical points made at the conference and provide NAPAP with additional scientific inputs as it begins to prepare for its 1990 Final Assessment Report.
