Abstract
Acid rain and acidification of the environment have been environmental issues of concern in China in recent years. Approximately 90% of the monitoring stations with a mean pH of less than 5.6 are located south of the Yangtze River. In this account, new research data have been combined with those published originally in Chinese to give an overview of the acid rain picture in SW China, a region with the most serious acid rain problem in China. Results of SW China have been presented in comparison with data in northern parts of China to not only demonstrate the spatial variability, but also to reflect the impact of NH/sub 3/, airborne particles and soil types on rain acidity. Based on precipitation and aerosol chemistry measurements, the source and origin of acid rain in SW China are discussed. 19 refs., 6 figs., 8 tabs.
