ACID DEPOSITION: Atmospheric Processes in Eastern North America, a Review of Current Scientific Understanding

摘要

There is no observational evidence of a strong nonlinearity in the relationship between annual average total emissions and total deposition of surfur in eastern North America. The finding is supported by theoretical calculations using the best available laboratory measurements of photochemical rate parameters. Currently available models of long-range atmospheric transport and transformation are not sufficiently developed to assess relationships between emissions from specific sources and deposition at specific receptor sites with high reliability.
